Arsenal has some of the finest attackers in England on their books now, which explains why they are enjoying a good Premier League season.
Despite boasting the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Leandro Trossard, Arsenal still feels they need a better number nine.
A report on Standard Sports says Mikel Arteta is targeting a frontman with more physical qualities than his current options at the Emirates.
The Spaniard could reportedly target the likes of Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic, Tammy Abraham of AS Roma, Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund.
Arteta believes any of these strikers will give his side a more physical presence in attack.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We have fine attackers, but it is clear to see our team lacks a physical striker, so this pursuit is justified.
In the Champions League next season, we will come up against formidable defences and a physical striker will help us cause mayhem in their goal.
The names on this list are players who have the physical quality we want, but not all of them have been able to use it to their advantage and score as many goals as possible.
We have to be sure whoever we sign will fit into our system and score the goals we need.

There’s one or two likely names on your list, all good physical strikers, but D C-L is a walking sick note and please, please not Vlahovic however good he may be.
No matter how much you hate Vlahovic, he’s still on the brink of world class. Anyway, I hate him too and I’m quite sure he will never be liked by our fanbase even if he comes, which by the way I very much doubt will ever happen
At least you people should learn to forgive,his dream was to play for juve … he’s just 23 anything can happen
Forgive? When he’s done nothing wrong in the first place.
Infact, any arsenal fan hating on this guy(Vlahovic) is not thinking properly, the guy simply had a dream and followed it even when we offered more money deserves respect just like Raphinha. Better than players who move for money.
Exactly! I fully agree
So do I . SO MANY SILLY UNTHINKING POSTS SLATING A FINE PLAYER FOR SIMPLY FOLLOWING HIS HEART!
Vlahovic is a top striker with many qualities,we have to go for him. Let’s forget about the past, that’s football.
I’m sure Vlahovic’s a charming man who plays sublime football and has the most principled of agents. Nevertheless, I would not wish to see him in an Arsenal shirt (even if he were a supporter).
Osimhen is a complete 9, expensive yea, but we not in the same stand we were last season. Champions legue is secured.
Wenger wanted him when he was younger, he choose to play in Belgium to develop, because he knows his ready to play in the first team, not been loaned out to L1 or L2.
Hes hungry for goal; not selfish and i believe we move the ball better than Napoli.
With this kind of addition, top 4 is guaranteed every season and he will rival Halland for goals.
His a Nigerian, we want em in Arsenal, Kanu is the only player that we proud of till date. Osimhen loves Arsenal, he will deliver.
The only right answer is Osimhen, he’s tall but not too tall, very fast, jumps high, has better ball control than Vlahovic and co. Scores beautiful goals. The only problem is he’ll probably be the most expensive of them.
