Arsenal legend Ian Wright has challenged Raheem Sterling to become Kai Havertz's replacement as the club's No 9 and avoid leaving with a whimper.
Havertz will miss the rest of the season after suffering a hamstring injury during a training camp in the United Arab Emirates, as first reported by Mail Sport.
Sources have indicated that he will have surgery in the coming days before undertaking a recovery programme which will extend into pre-season.
The blow leaves Mikel Arteta with just three recognised senior attackers with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli also stuck on the treatment table.
