Arsenal are in desperate need of world class striker in their squad that has no real quality or depth upfront.
Giroud is currently the only senior striker and even though his stats are decent, he is far from the likes of top goal scorers like Suarez, Sturridge, Aguero etc.
Hence, Wenger is looking to lure a top quality forward. Having ignored Cesc Fabregas mainly because he had other options, Arsene is ready to splash the cash on striker.
According to reports, Italian and former Manchester City super star Mario Balotelli is linked with a move to Emirates.
As per Daily Express, Arsenal deal for Balotelli is on and a bid worth £25m can lure him. Also his agent claims that the former Inter forward hinted that Mario is interested in Arsenal move.
With his arrival, it is highly likely that Giroud will mostly find himself starting on the bench.
Here is how Arsenal Starting XI formation will look like with Mario Balotelli.

Still doesn’t improve the squad too much we still need DM and we still lack pace I think we need a another winger like griezmann who would be quality and also I’d sign Loic Remy too.
I would be the happiest to see and watch Baloteli playing in Arsenal shirt . I am always impressed by his striking ability.
Mario Ballotelli is the man to lead Arsenal’s attack next season because he’s got the wherewithal to prove himself behind the scene for a team like Arsenal that creates a lot of scoring chances for him to notch. Also, we should consider Joel Campbell back to the fold as he can be push to the wings where walcott plays. Cazorla talks big about his intention to move to la liga and join the reigning champion Athletico Madrid that was why we needed Cesc back but we missed the maestro to Chelsea. So Griezmann can be lured in if Cazorla leaves for spanish capital. On the full back, forget Serge Aurier who is not defensive wise and lets get Uchida. On goal we can Get Ochoa of mexico for his quick reflex to catch balls that will pivotal to Arsenal success next season. Defensive Midfield we should go get song back before chelsea pounce and agrieve us again. Chelsea is definitely not going to play fabregas while willian and oscar is there soaring high every single day. The got fabregas to upset arsenal faithfuls so lets go get Eto’o Fils to get them upset with an old man’s posture after a goal bang on chelsea’s net.
Carzola probably won`t be there, Podolski or a new winger will take up that role ( poss. Campbell). The Ox will not replace Walcott on the wing but eventually move to midfield. Ozil will continue to disappoint us and Wenger will not admit it (obviously), he`s not an Arsenal type player (too lay back). Ramsey could move into the hole with Wilshere and Oz either side. Mert. is too slow and with a new right back to blood will make our right flank questionable. Balotelli?????. Benzema Yes!
Balotelli (25 million), Khedira (20 million), Vela (3.5 million), Auier (7 million), Marshall (8 million) = 63.5 million
Perfect summer
Also Caulker to replace Vermalean
WHat abt Center back :- as vermaelen is sure gonna join manu or napoli,
what back up for him ? we need a good center back
No point purchasing average squad players anymore.We need big time players to challenge the current squad and refresh areas that are in need. I dont see why losing some of aging players is a problem. We have ended our trophy drought now and believe that we are in the rebuilding phase again to win the EPL and eventually the Champions League. We need strength in depth and game changers. Give me the reported 100million and heres what i have come up with. Improving the current 11, strengthing the bench players, building for the future, trying to keep everyone happy and adding Arsenal type players.

Santi is my favorite gunner at the moment but with age against him along with a interested party right now would be the best time to sell. Balotelli would improve any team and is world class. Sanchez can play any where along the front line and has real quality about him, only 25 still has many years and adds trickery. Kherdia is calm on the ball and reads the game like no other. Aurier could become an Arsenal legend and hold on to the RB position for the next 10years.Griezmann is young and exciting, has an eye for go and adds go forward.Williams is experienced and a real hard man, he comes at the right price and could step up into the 1st team at anytime, Smalling is young enough to still develop and can cover many positions. Ochoa had a great game last night but i believe that getting him on a free is the real positive. With this squad we still meet the FFP and have the right amount of homegrown players. Squad is young enough to develop but also experienced enough to no how to win. Either Mert or Rambo would become my next club captain.
