Arsene Wenger is, understandably, happy with the way his team are playing at the moment, but he’s still on the lookout for another player who can provide 15 goals a season.

It’s open to interpretation as to whether he thinks that will come from one his famous ‘internal solutions’ or if it’s something he’s looking to do in the transfer market, but it shows the Arsenal manager wants that little bit more from his side in order to properly challenge for the title.

Speaking after the 4-1 win over Liverpool, he touched on his striking options after Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud notched up their 20th and 18th goals of the season respectively.

“Giroud has surprised a lot of people,” he said. “It shows we missed him when he was out for four months. Laurent Koscielny was out for four months too. Mesut Özil the same. They were all out together. You can see the difference.

“I expected Aaron Ramsey to be in there as well with 10 or 15,” he continued. “We need another player who gets 10 or 15 goals but we have a good mentality and good cohesion in the team.

“There is something happening. You can see that, you can’t cheat on that, people smell that.

“It of course is a good basis, and defensively we are getting better.”
