Arsenal have been offered Randal Kolo Muani and Kingsley Coman - but are unsure either represent good value on current costings.
The Gunners' attack suffered another setback last weekend after Gabriel Jesus picked up a serious knee injury in the FA Cup defeat by Manchester United.
The Brazilian is expected to miss the remainder of the season, with Bukayo Saka already sidelined by a hamstring issue.
Arsenal are in the market for a forward but are unlikely to sign French duo Kolo Muani and Coman this month.
