Arsenal have added Bayern Munich striker Mario Mandzukic to their list of transfer targets as Arsene Wenger weighs up bringing in another forward.

The Gunners are short of attacking options with Olivier Giroud currently out, while deputy Nicklas Bendtner is also facing a spell on the sidelines with an ankle problem.

Arsenal are currently awaiting the results of a scan on Bendtner, but Wenger is drawing up a list of short-term targets if the Dane is ruled out for a while.

Real Madrid youngster Alvaro Morata and Atletico Madrid ace Diego Costa have both been linked, along with Dimitar Berbatov, but Mandzukic has emerged as a new option being considered.



The Croatian’s future in Germany looks bleak with the imminent arrival of Robert Lewandowski from Borussia Dortmund, and Arsenal could snap up Mandzukic on loan with a view to a permanent deal.

Mandzukic has proven class and was previously chased by Wenger whilst at Dinamo Zagreb.
