Arsenal is looking to strengthen their attack in the January transfer window with a versatile forward, according to the Daily Cannon. Mikel Arteta wants a player capable of operating in multiple positions. The club is considering Bournemouth attacker Eli Junior Kroupi and Juventus winger Kenan Yıldız. Both players offer the versatility Arsenal is seeking.
Kroupi, a 20-year-old, has returned from injury and already grabbed an assist, although he has yet to start this season. Arsenal had previously shown interest in him, but Bournemouth is reportedly reluctant to sell midway through the season. Yıldız remains an option for the left side of Arsenal's attack.
The consideration of these players indicates the qualities Arsenal is looking for in a new forward. The outcome will depend on what their clubs are willing to accept and how far Arsenal decides to push once the window opens. Whether either player will be signed in January remains uncertain.

Source context
Arsenal will look to strengthen their attack in January, with versatility at the top of the list when the transfer window reopens. According to Mirror Football, Mikel Arteta wants another forward capable of operating in more than one position, rather than simply adding a specialist centre-forward. Bournemouth attacker Eli Junior Kroupi and Juventus winger Kenan Yıldız are both named among the players being considered. Kroupi is described as a player Arsenal want to revisit after previous interest, although Bournemouth are reportedly reluctant to sell him midway through the season. The 20-year-old made his return from injury at the end of last month and has already grabbed an assist despite being yet to start this season.
