On Wenger's radar: Croatia striker Mario Mandzukic[LNB]Arsene Wenger has admitted he needs a new striker - with Croatia'sMario Mandzukic on his radar - even though high-scoring Arsenal are theform team of the Premier League as title rivals have stumbled. [LNB]With Robin van Persie, Nicklas Bendtner and Theo Walcott injured,Wenger has finally conceded he is looking for another forward but isstruggling, he says, to identify one good enough. [LNB]The 23-year-old Mandzukic, who scored the only goal in Croatia's 4-1home defeat by England last year, has been watched by Arsenal but theyhave doubts about the man Dinamo Zagreb signed to replace Eduardo. [LNB]'Iam thinking about signing a striker but I must confess I am not closeto doing anything because I do not find a player who can convince me,'said Wenger, whose team play at Bolton today on the back of five winsand two draws since what seemed a demoralising 3-0 defeat by Chelsea inNovember. [LNB]But a tough programme follows with games against Aston Villa, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. [LNB]And Wenger is likely to still be pinning his striking hopes on Andrey Arshavin and Eduardo.[LNB] 'Andrey has had a foot injury and has not been able to kick the ball well,' said Wenger.[LNB] 'His movement around the box is very intelligent and it is how strikers move around the box that makes the difference.'[LNB] ARSENAL FC: All the latest news from across the webWenger: Campbell can use Arsenal as a stepping stone for EnglandArsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Bolton will be turned into pass masters[LNB] [LNB]
