Every football news source worth its salt from the transfer gossip columns to esteemed Arsenal fan blogs is speculating Arsene Wenger will go in for Shalke striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar in January.
Rumours have been rife this week that Huntelaar is the man to step in and reinforce Arsenal’s attacking options Arsenal when Gervinho leaves for the African Cup of Nations around Christmas time, giving support to recent signing Olivier Giroud and his supporting wide men.
As it stands two options occupy Wenger’s thoughts, the first being the logical move for an inform Huntelaar, the alternative would be to bring back Thierry Henry for a third spell at the club, despite the former legend being of a certain age.
Delicate whispers of Wenger looking at Braga striker Eder, 24, are also floating around although they have yet to be confirmed by any spokesmen.
Commenting on the strategy for upcoming games over the January period Wenger said: “Gervinho is going to the Africa Cup of Nations, so we look more for a striker.”
The obvious plus for Wenger to bring in Thierry Henry over a top flight International striker is his availability to play in the Champions League whereas a player such as Huntelaar would be exempt from featuring for a different club having already played for Shalke this term.

I will advice Wenger to sped the money given to him on efficient players that can score goals. The option for Thierry is a bad one even though the guy has forced for the team but the man is becoming of age so I don't think he is a best option and that also goes to Huntelaar even though is in form.

Wenger should go for some one who can score goal cuz the gunners lack in that department. I would go for huntelaar or david villa..
