Ian Wright is worried with Arsenal’s lack of goals this season and the Gunners legend has recommended a striker that he believes the team needs now.
Arsenal is expected to sign a new striker in the January transfer window or summer.
Mikel Arteta’s side has been playing very well, but they lack a striker who can put the finishing touches to the chances that they create.
Reports have linked them with a move for the likes of Ivan Toney and several other strikers in the last few weeks, which could boost their chance of doing well in the Premier League in the second half of the season.
But Wright believes the man they need now is Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.
He said, as quoted by The Sun:
“The calibre of player Arsenal need right now i somebody who hits the ground running, a top end striker, like the [Victor] Osimhens of this world… that level of striker.
“If Arsenal want to do it now they’re going to need that level of goalscorer who will slot in straight away.
“That’s what they probably need now. I don’t think any Arsenal fan will look at the game and not see that we need a killer in front of goal.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Osimhen has been one of the finest strikers in Europe in the last few seasons and will do a good job for us.
But signing him next month will be tough and we may have to break the bank to achieve it.

Phase five material but this one is a long shot, still never say never have seen them happen,, Napoli has shown intrest in Nketiah in the pass and the Arsenal Academy graduate is even a better player now, with a few quids going the other way, this could be an interesting one to watch.
That is the right player to buy and we can only buy him in January it will be ok
He just signed a new contract at Napoli just last week
And sling in Mbappe, Gavi and Valverde as well.
Might as well be ambitious…
Can’t believe Ian has’nt a clue of what’s going on at our club. Guess i’m alone then.
It seems everyone but you doesn’t have a clue Vamos, even our own Ian Wright!!
I do know we’re ten points down at this point versus last season and that’s after spending an additional nigh on £200,000,000 and liverpool, villa and city are above us, both on points and goals scored…. perhaps THAT’S what Wrighty is talking about?
African cup of nations could be 5 to 6 weeks out .will be European or South American striker.
We can’t buy him in January but can in the off-season – he moves the needle.
Arsenal football team can win laurels if the management of the club should stop believing in dead players from other clubs either in England or European countries ,when in desperate need of players. No two is that there should always be a plan ‘B’ when a team is finding it difficult to break an opponents down defense fully to score. Thank you, more to come!
We don’t have “dead players”! Our players are very much ALIVE and HEALTHY!
It would be a good idea to have a new manager.
The current manager s tactics is unworkable even with the best players in thd world
