Piers Morgan expresses his satisfaction with Arsenal’s activity in the ongoing transfer window, particularly in strengthening their midfield with the acquisitions of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz.
However, he holds a differing opinion from the club regarding their need for a new striker and believes that Arsenal should pursue the signing of Victor Osimhen from Napoli before the window concludes.
Despite having Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah, and Folarin Balogun as viable options in the attacking department, Morgan argues that Arsenal should not overlook the opportunity to bolster their striking options with Osimhen. He sees the Nigerian frontman as a valuable addition to the squad, providing them with more depth and quality in the attacking line.
Morgan’s viewpoint emphasises the importance of strengthening all areas of the team, including the striker position, to enhance Arsenal’s chances of success.
He tweeted: “It’s brilliant that Arsenal seem to have won the race to sign @_DeclanRice who will be a monstrously good addition to the team.
“But if we want to win big trophies, we also need a world-class striker who will score 25+ goals a season. I’d break the bank for @victorosimhen9 #afc”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Last season, at least three players scored double figures of goals for us, which helped us in our title challenge.
It shows how important it is to get goals from several players on the pitch, but none of our attackers scored up to 20 league goals.
If we had one player with that stat, we could have won the league, so we probably should target one of them this summer.

Oshien is the ideal type of Striker for Arsenal needs, but he won’t come cheap maybe Vlohovic is a cheaper version.
OT: A deal to take Timber to the Emirates is all but done.
We need Harry Kane.
I agree with Piers Morgan we could do with Victor Osimhen then we can challenge for a cup or two
Nobody is not agreeing with Morgan on quality of Osimhen, but the feasibility side looks laughable. Unless the Kronekes really go all in, this is at the best a day dream. I would love to see him in our jersey, but I also know we are not playing FIFA on a game console.
I would sell Jesus to fund this guy.
GJ + Eddie + Holding + Elneny + Tavares + Pepe should equal the transfer fee for Victor. Like for like, Arsenal with Victor would be a match for City with Haland.
So thats 6 squad players to get one player. That aint going to happen.
Said this 2 seasons ago ,apparently he was just an Auba clone 😂
Who? Victor?
And how is this meant to be funded? We didn’t fall short due to a lack of goals, it was conceding them that did. If MA can add Jurrien Timber to the Havertz and Rice signings it will be incredible and will actually give us a team worthy of contending for multiple trophies.
I would break the bank too for Victor Osimhen. Such a pity we have already broken Kroenke’s bank for plain Rice and Havertz.
All that’s left so say, if Osimhen signs for either Liverpool or ManU, we will be scrapping with Newcastle next season for top 4.
I agree with Mr Morgan, a striker is a must, no disrespect to Eddy but if arteta really want to challenge for trophies then a new quality striker is required.
Agree . We have not had a good striker since Aubameyang, who was good despite all the B/S that came with him. Therie Henrie transformed the team into a really great team. But he was a one-off. Dont understand why we dont look at two proven premier league strikers in Mitrovic or Ivan Toney. Yes they both have skeletons in the cupboard but we can get past that !! Pep realised that Jesus was not the answer as a striker and that is why he moved him on – very good player but will never score enough goals.
The idea of importing a top level already proven specialist striker- an idea which I support – seemsnot to be on MAs agenda.
He seems to prefer an all round variety of several decent level scorers , which happened last season.
Who is to say he is wrong though?
The usual suspects on JA will do so, as that is what they do, but I RECOGNISE THE UNDOUBTED FACT that MA took us to second place , while all I can do is add my own pointless opinion on here.
Unlike most fans, I’m not convinced Arsenal need a striker who scores many goals. I prefer our current set-up where we have 4 to 5 players who can get double figures for the season. Jesus,Saka,Martinelli and Odegaard are all capable of getting 15-20 goals. ESR,Trossard, Havertz, and whoever will back up Jesus should all be looking at atleast 8 goals. Goals here and there from midfielders and the defense and you’ll be looking at a decent return of goals. Finally, it’s just not realistic in a financial sense that Arsenal would spend that much money on Osimhen considering they’ve already spent a lot.
Victor O on whoscored says he’s very weak at offside awareness, it says he’s weak at holding onto the ball and he’s weak at passing. Doesn’t sound too well-rounded. Good at taking chances and aerial threats. Lukaku was like that over there
They don’t have a very high opinion of Balogun either, other than for his actual goal-scoring.
