Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko would be a poor addition to the Arsenal squad. However, according to the Metro, the Gunners are reportedly interested in the Bosnian star.
According to reports, Arsene Wenger could be keen on taking Dzeko if Walcott makes the opposite journey.
Wenger is a fan of the Bosnian striker and first identified him as a prospect several years ago.
Dzeko’s future at the Etihad Stadium has been uncertain after he revealed his frustration at being a bit-part player last season.
Even though French striker Olivier Giroud and German forward Lukas Podolski have not been able to make a huge impact in the Gunners attack through two Premier League games so far, Dzeko would not be a significant upgrade over either player.
Dzeko is great in the air and has a powerful shot, but he wouldn't be a profound improvement over Giroud. There's no need for Arsenal to make a move for Dzeko when Giroud is a similar kind of player.
Dzeko did score 14 league goals in 30 matches last season for the defending champions, but he won't be surrounded by the same quality attacking players at Arsenal that he currently is with City.
The other issue with Dzeko possibly making a move to Arsenal is his high wages. Wenger wasn't willing to pay former captain Robin van Persie the enormous wages that he demanded, so it's hard to imagine him paying an inferior player a high salary.
Even though scoring has been a problem thus far for the Gunners, adding defensive quality should be the goal for Wenger before the transfer window shuts until January.
