The Gunners have been touted to sign a new striker at the turn of the year with lack of consistency from the front men.

Brentford 's Ivan Toney is deemed the top target for the club, but there are suggestions that Arsenal may not afford him.

The Bees are planning to demand close to £80m and Arsenal may not afford such a staggering sum due to FFP concerns.

This could urge them to look into alternatives and reports claim that Solanke is a surprise target for manager Mikel Arteta .

The once Chelsea graduate has already scored eight goals in the current league campaign and he is one of the in-form strikers.

The Cherries purchased him for £19m from Liverpool few years ago and they are likely to hold out for £50m to sell him.

Arsenal fans would certainly be surprised if the club were to sign him.
