Arsenal's Search for a New Striker
Arsenal continues to hunt for a new striker as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his front line. Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney were initially on the radar, but concerns about Osimhen's injury history and Toney's age and attitude have led the club to explore other options.
New Top Targets Emerged
Arsenal's interest in Osimhen, 25, and Toney, 28, has waned, with new names like Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres, and Evan Ferguson emerging as potential targets. Sesko from RB Leipzig has impressed with 11 goals this season, while Gyokeres leads in both goals and assists in European top-flight leagues.
Options for the Gunners
Despite moving away from Osimhen and Toney, Arsenal has a plethora of options for the upcoming season. With Eddie Nketiah possibly departing, the Gunners are exploring various No9's across Europe to bolster their squad for the future.
