Though there is a chance they won’t sign anyone this winter, Arsenal can improve their title hopes by acquiring a striker.
Given their intention to comply with FFP, they have struggled to bolster this winter transfer window. However, some Gooners believe the club can close a low-cost deal that will benefit them.
In their search for a striker, some have suggested that they try to find a short-term striker fix by bringing someone on loan. Several top attackers have been identified as ideal for a short-term deal. The latest striker recommendation is Callum Wilson. It has been well documented that Newcastle must balance their books through player sales, and Robbie Earl, speaking on The 2 Robbies, has now proposed that Arsenal should explore a move for Newcastle’s Callum Wilson, whom the Magpies may be willing to allow to leave on a loan deal.
But speaking on The 2 Robbies, Robbie Earle, in conversation with Robbie Mustoe, suggested that Arsenal should ask the question of the £20 million forward.
Earle said, “I’ll chuck a little one at you. And it probably isn’t going to happen, but what about Callum Wilson? He’s apparently available at Newcastle because of Newcastle’s financial position and whatever. There’s talk about him going on loan to Atletico Madrid. Could I loan him for six months?
“Why would Newcastle do that? To release some salary? I mean, you’d do it; if you were Arsenal, you’d totally do that,” Robbie Mustoe replied.
Earle then added, “I’m just saying if Arsenal are looking around at options, could Callum Wilson be a cheeky little option?”

Wilson is a decent striker; he may not be as well-appreciated as Ivan Toney, but he could be a better alternative than Eddie Nketiah for the time being. For a short-term deal, I would support his swoop. He has already scored seven goals in 14 games this season, indicating that he can join Arsenal and contribute to their goals. I’m not sure about you, but seeing Wilson join Arsenal would be a pleasant surprise for me.
What do you think?

Good idea
But why can’t Arsenal sell Eddie, Elneny, Cedric and Patino to bring Ivan Toney and maybe a left back?? Not forgetting Someone like Onana or Neves on loan.
We need the EPL or the UCL this season
Freddy, Toney won’t leave this window, because he appreciates Brentford standing by him. I would be disappointed if he didnt! He realises that Brentford are hovering above the relegation zone and given injuries to others, they need his goals.
How is Callum Wilson better than Jesus. I wonder sometimes whether you are a true arsenal fan, with the articles implying that Arsenal should obtain a Newcastle reject.
Exacly, he is not a fan of Arsenal.
Bring in an injury prone player on loan?
He has had three spells off already this season, two with hamstrings, one with a calf injury.
Seriously what is the point? He would get up to speed on our system, get injured then go back again.
Just the latest of many plainly never going to happen rumours! I get fed up reading fantasy rumours on JA.
And I get fed up reading your boring repetitive comments. Hey we both have a choice. You stop reading rumours…..
.. and you will stop publishing them, eh PAT.?
Is THAT what you unfinished sentence was going on to say, until you stopped yourself?
As if I would deprive the loyal readers that enjoy reading them. I know you think everyone in the world should have an English degree and have the exact same opinion as yourself but the world doesn’t work like that.
OH NO Pat!!
How little you know me to claim that is what I want.
Surely you know by NOW, that all I ask is that Gooners THINK before writing, that they at least try to be more considered in opinions and less obviously AFC biased.
AND THAT THEY AT LEAST TRY TO FIND TRUTH, INSTEAD OF HYPE AND PLAIN FALSEHOODS. I ask nothing else and would not even want to.
I will welcome him more for the physicality he will bring to the attacking department of the team. Arsenal lacked fear factor to opposing defenders. An upgrade to Nketia no doubt. But it must be on loan with no option to buy.
I must say that I did think at one stage that C Wilson had a very bright future ahead of him he looked like a sharp finisher with clever box play. I don’t know if it’s down to injury but he just hasn’t kicked on. I like the look of Isak for whatever that’s worth
