Arsenal are hoping midfielder Matteo Guendouzi can help them complete a cut-price deal for a new striker. The Gunners are eyeing Lorient's £9 million striker Alexis Claude-Maurice. Claude-Maurice has netted 14 goals in Ligue 2 this season. The 20-year-old is a former teammate of Guendouzi, which the Gunners hope will persuade Claude-Maurice on a switch to the Emirates.
