Arsenal is anticipated to address their striking concerns by signing a new striker either in the current transfer window or during the summer, as the position has become problematic for Mikel Arteta’s team.
Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus were the primary strikers for the Gunners last season, but they have struggled to provide sufficient goal-scoring contributions. Despite their efforts, Arsenal failed to reinforce the striker position in the summer, and they aim to rectify this issue in the upcoming transfer opportunities.
While it remains uncertain whether Arsenal will make a move for a new striker this month, Football Insider reports that the club has identified the need for physicality in the striker role. The Gunners are looking to sign a frontman with a physical edge to his game, believing that such a player would enhance their ability to break down opposition defences and increase their goal-scoring chances.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Our entire team lacks physicality, and it will make no sense to sign a striker who will not have that edge.
Our midfielders are also soft when compared to their colleagues in other clubs, so we need a physical player in both positions.
We trust the executives to know what is needed, and they will sign a top player for us when the time comes.
We have several names on our radar and it will be interesting to see which will join us.

Arsenal go from top to 4th – what’s gone wrong?
Hopefully we don’t go with our usual:
– overpriced
– over payed
– underpowered
– overly versatile
That’s it, in a nutshell!!
One could argue that they should have done better previously.
1. Nketiah is championship level, never the clinical sharp finisher needed.
2. Jesus was never and will never be 20 goal striker.
Club made a mistake having 2 similar type strikers and neither are known as goal scoring threats.
Durand I do NOT agree Nketiah and Jesus are in ANY WAY SIMILAR types, other than neither score anywhere nearly often enough.
Completely different styles of play, as I RECKON ALL WOULD AGREE, EVEN IF YOU DONT.
SORRY Martin, but it is PLAINLY NOT TRUE, THAT “OUR ENTIRE TEAM LACKS PHYSICALITY”.
Certainly , our forwards DO. So does a part of our midfield/. Also Zinny when at full back.
But Saliba? Gabriel? RICE??? Tomi? White too? I think you are letting only a part truism run away with your thinking!
I suppose you could also include Havertz in that midfield as physical. So all we need now is a forward who’s: Big, strong, two footed, skillful and 20+ goals per season (think, RvP/Bergkamp/Henry).What are the chances?
Our forwards are not physically big players but I’d argue that Saka is deceptively strong Jesus is combative and Martinelli has an engine that goes and keeps going. They have some physicality about their game rather than having none. That’s why for me the slow passing is so annoying because these players are ideal for a fast-paced game both in and out of possession
Quite right, the slow passing back and forth going nowhere slowly. It kills me down and it is very annoying.
I feel zichecho should be moved to middle field and get Tierney back to defend he is better than all, we need to sell this English players NKethia, Reiss and Cedric and give the new blood a chance to play , the problem that we experiencing was started by Arteta himself when he removed Ramsdale from the goal post, now the dressing room isn’t happy on how certain issues are handled that was very childish, the manager is costing the team with his arrogance. I dont blame them, buying new players wont solve dressing room problems
