Arsenal have been offered two high-profile names to 'fix their attacking issues' after Mikel Arteta confirmed they are "actively" looking to make additions in the January window.

The Gunners suffered a huge blow on Sunday after it was confirmed that Gabriel Jesus suffered an ACL injury against Manchester United and will likely miss the rest of the season.

Jesus will join Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Riccardo Calafiori and Bukayo Saka on the sidelines, with the latter expected to be out until late February or March.

Arsenal are currently lacking attacking options as a result but this week, Mikel Arteta suggested the Premier League side are ready to make additions in the coming days.

"We are actively looking in the market to improve the squad. That's been like that since day one," he said ahead of the North London derby.

"It would be naive not to do that. It's an opportunity to improve the squad. We are looking. We are trying. Let's see what we can do."

Earlier this week, Arsenal were heavily linked with a move for long-term target Martin Zubimendi, although Real Sociedad have reportedly insisted the player stays until the end of the season.

A loan move for Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic has also been mentioned,

But now, a report from the Mail suggests Arsenal have been offered the chance to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani and Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman in January.

It is said PSG want to include a £50 million 'obligation to buy' clause in any potential loan deal for Kolo Muani, which has deterred Arsenal and Manchester United from making a move as they believe that fee is too expensive.

Arsenal are admirers of Coman, who has a long list of trophies to his name, but his fee and wage demands are also considered to be on the high side.

In fact, the North London club are 'unsure' about both Muani and Coman, with questions marks being raised regarding their value in the current market.

Who do you think Arsenal should sign in the January window? Let us know.
