Arsenal have splashed the cash on Viktor Gyökeres this summer but their other two centre forwards are injured.
Arsenal are expected to first look at the loan and bargain basement markets if Kai Havertz is ruled out for a prolonged period of time with a knee injury.
Arsenal had an open training session at the Emirates on Wednesday before their first home fixture of the Premier League season when they host Leeds United on Saturday. Ben White and Kai Havertz were glaring omissions. White came off in the 71st minute in the win at Manchester United on Sunday and Havertz started the game on the bench.
Arsenal are moving for Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze after learning Kai Havertz has suffered a potentially serious knee injury, sources told ESPN.
Havertz, who earns £250,000-a-week at the Emirates Stadium, was Arsenal's main man in attack last season, but he's since been joined by Viktor Gyokeres as another option for the centre-forward position. As a result, Havertz was on the bench against Manchester United at the weekend, with Gyokeres leading the line for the Gunners.
