Arsene Wenger declared he would for once spend during the January Transfer Window thanks to the injury of the Gunners main striker Robin van Persie. The Dutchman was injured whilst on international duty with Holland and is set to be out for around 4 months.

Since the talented Dutchman's injury Arsene Wenger's frontmen have lacked serious creativity and finishing and Arsenal are in danger of becoming completely out of the title race.

Rumour has it Wenger is set to bid for talented Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli. The 19-year-old is a tremendous talent who has a huge future in the beautiful game. The Italian youngster is blessed with pace, strength, great technical ability and is capable of playing all along the front line.

Rumour is that the Italian U-21 striker is unhappy under Jose Mourihno and is seeking a move out. If Balotelli was to depart Inter and join the Gunners he would certainly be a great attacking threat, especially beside Robin van Persie.

Wenger is set to bid £ 18 million for the talented teenager but Mourihno has hinted he would happily allow Balotelli to depart if Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas came to the San Siro. That deal is extremely unlikely to occur.
