Arsenal have been linked with the likes of Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko and Victor Osimhen in recent months, but that doesn't mean Jhon Durán isn't a great option for Mikel Artetafrom the side. The 21-year-old has demonstrated his qualities in the first divisionin addition to having three goals to his name in the champions league this season.

Durán's arrival could get their Premier League title back on track while significantly increasing their chances of advancing further into the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
Arsenal's biggest advantage in the race against Chelsea is their ability to guarantee Durán a starting role from the get-go.
