Amidst their winter woes, Arsenal fans clamored for a new striker, yet financial constraints halted mid-season signings.
However, recent form suggests a different story, with the Gunners securing six consecutive Premier League victories upon their return from a Dubai training stint.
While their offensive prowess shone through, a 1-0 Champions League loss to Porto exposed lingering deficiencies, particularly in their striking department. Gabriel Jesus’ injury struggles and Eddie Nketiah’s backup role underscore the need for a long-term solution upfront, especially after Folarin Balogun’s departure to Monaco.
In light of these concerns, Arsenal has drawn up a four-man shortlist for summer acquisitions, as reported by TEAMtalk. Among the candidates is Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, a prolific scorer who contributed significantly to his team’s Serie A triumph last season. However, competition from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain threatens Arsenal’s pursuit, with PSG holding a financial edge to meet Osimhen’s hefty release clause of £113m.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Arsenal faces a crucial decision in bolstering their striking options to sustain their recent resurgence and contend for top honors in both domestic and European competitions.
