Arsenal is in need of goalscorers as they strive to enhance their chances of winning the league. While a potential investment in a striker during the January transfer window is possible, there are concerns about the long-term value that the current strikers may provide.
Several frontmen have been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent months, creating anticipation among the fans about potential additions to the team.
Former Arsenal star Sol Campbell has shared his advice on which strikers the club should consider adding to their squad. He has specifically named two strikers whom he believes Arsenal could make good use of, providing valuable insight into potential improvements for the team.
He said, as quoted by Mirror Football:
“[Victor] Osimhen. But is he going to cost too much money?
“There’s Ivan [Toney]. I think they’re good [in other areas of the pitch]. Centre forward is one thing they might need to look at and see the possibilities, see what’s out there, or wait until next season.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen have been in superb form for their respective clubs in the last few seasons.
If we add them to our squad, they will improve us, but we will have to pay a significant fee to sign either of them.
It will be interesting to see which of them we will sign or if we will sign another striker entirely.

I think alot of problems suddenly go away if we splash the cash and get either one of them.
Nketia is not good enough for me personally.
Saka needs better cover than nelson. Jesus can cover that roll.
Better strikers will stop the pressure on the midfield.
Better strikers will mean no more 2 on 1 for Saka or martinelli.
Also get rid of bloody Haveretz
I think the jury is still out on Nelson – he plays pretty well whenever he gets the chance, but he just doesn’t get many chances…
Definitely phase five material, Oshien would give the team a deadly cutting edge at the top he brings pace and dynamism.
Toney would suffice for me… He would give our attack a real menace about it.. That extra oomph
Osimhen is more tilted towards Chelsea although Arsenal can still convince him. Toney is being offered a new contract by Brenford and if Arsenal want him, they will have to move fast before he officially accepts the new offer. However, it is not the end of the world if we dont get either of the above since there are other quality strikers in Europe.
Osimhen would be a great addition but the cost is likely to be prohibitive.
I really think toney would give us a bounce that could make all the difference for a title push this year. A fresh player, who knows this league and offers a different threat to the other forward options would make our attack very difficult to deal with imo.
Osimhen would obviously be the better long term investment, but i think he’d cost far too much and there’s a chance (albeit a small one imo) that he’d need a little time to adapt.
