Arsenal is expected to sign a high-profile midfielder to their squad at the end of this season, with Declan Rice now one of the favourites to move to London.
The Englishman will make Arsenal much better, but former Aston Villa man Gabby Agbonlahor believes the Gunners need a striker.
Arsenal will play in the Champions League next season, the first time they have qualified for the competition since 2017.
Mikel Arteta’s side will not want to be just one of the clubs who partook in the competition and they must bolster their squad to make an impression.
One spot Gabby believes they must bolster is their attack. He explains on Football Insider:
“They can go out and get Rice, and that will be a statement in itself.
“But they need a top striker, for me, as well.
“When you’re in the Champions League and all these other competitions – three top strikers would be great.
“Gabriel Jesus has had injury problems, Eddie Nketiah has had injury problems – that could hurt them if it happens again.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
We need a strong squad to make an impression in the Champions League and our current strikers might struggle in the competition.
If we truly want to do well, we must ensure more quality players come through the door at the Emirates and we can achieve that if we work hard to add the right men to the group.
Another statement of the OBVIOUS from “superbrain” Agbonlahor!
OH HOW I WISH JA would cease reporting the so called “thoughts” of this ignorant Brummie.
The pundit is right, surely Josh has to back the gaffer to enable him landing his first choice target for once.
And with the war chest by large on touch from the recent winters window, surely we expect a signing or two that will jerk the dial.
The trouble with the pundits today is they have to make outrageous or stupid comments just to be noticed.
There are so many of them, that they have to be out there with their comments to be noticed or cited by the media!!!
This article is a testimony to that!!!
All Arsenal next summer incomings and outgoings transfer speculations and suggestions in the form of Advising from any quarters or by any highly placed person or persons MUST STOP henceforth with. Until after the season has come to an end.
For, at this juncture in the season run-in games, Arsenal have not switched ON to the next summer transfer mode to start entertaining any transfer suggestions, speculations or advising. As they are still in the switch OFF mode to face this season’s run-in games. In which they are seriously competing to keep remaining a top of the Premier League which they are currently topping. And continue topping it to season’d end.
And win the Epl title unfailingly. After which they will switch ON to the next summer transfer window mode. And could start listening to transfer suggestions and advice like the Declan Rice one that’s being suggested by Gabriel Agbonlahor to Arsenal to do.
Balogun might get the nod, if he does then I doubt we’ll bring a fourth one in. Personally, I would rather we target a new fella because I believe Balogun and Nketiah are too similar in strengths and weaknesses. I would want a strong tall battling type figure that has good technical ability comfortable on the ball
Good, but which football player the you think,that arsenal could go for that will solve the attacking problems, that’s tall with physical and sharp
Arsenal first team can face any team but the major problem they have now,u can look at every departments there’s no genuine backups. area like no7, saka have no genuine backup, likewise party, Odegaard no backup,marthineli trosard is for him,gab jesus no genuine backup, if u want understand what I am talking about, just take a at man city squads or bayern munich and barcelona,u will see what I am talking about. U see chelsea team, people maybe saying they are wasting money,but just wait till next season, everyone will see how they could be. It’s this backup problem, that made us to lose out of europa league,if not we could’ve be a genuine contendant in both epl and europa this season. As our manager rested some of the key players,there was no genuinely replacement.
That of our current attacking lineup, as for me, if I will let go among the three top 9, it will be nketiah, I cannot release balogun for nketiah, nketiah is good but but not reliable player,I will advise to let nketiah move on and retain balogun then look for a genuine fit 9 else where to complete that department if we want a europe cup
We need a DM, a striker and a CB next season. Not that Holding is bad, but we need extra bodies in central defence when we are playing CL football. Also, I guess we need a right winger if Marquinhos is not returning from loan.
A CB? With Gabriel, Saliba,Kiwior,Holding, White and Tomi who is a natural CB not forgetting Tierney who plays left CB in a three for Scotland?
