Ivan Toney and Dusan Vlahovic have emerged as Arsenal’s primary striker targets ahead of the January transfer window. The Gunners are actively pursuing some of the top players in Europe, and strengthening their striker position is a key focus.
Despite decent performances from Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal is in need of more goals. Mikel Arteta’s side has been advised to address this issue in January by securing the services of a quality striker, with Vlahovic and Toney being the top choices.
Toney is expected to return from a ban in the second half of the season to assist Brentford in maintaining their Premier League status. On the other hand, Vlahovic remains the first-choice striker at Juventus and is crucial to their success this term.
However, Football Insider reports suggest that both Juventus and Brentford are unwilling to part with Vlahovic and Toney in January. They prefer to negotiate deals in the summer, which poses a significant setback to Arsenal’s winter transfer plans.
Just Arsenal Opinion
It is difficult to see any club sell a top player in the January transfer window and we should know this.
We have to get the best from our current options and buy a new striker in the summer if we want to get the ideal player for a reasonable fee.
With the kind of performance our two centre forward produced yesterday arsenal surely needs a striker more than a midfielder, both Martineli,Havertz,Odegaard and Saka cannot do it alone they need a striker who will replicate how they play signing one might decide whether arsenal wins a trophy this season or not.
Arsenal priority signing will be a midfielder in the winter window.
We need a striker more!.
We don’t need a striker, all we need is Saka’s direct replacement in Olise who ran the show upon his return for Palace yesterday. i’m sure Partey along with Jorginho are’nt leaving till next summer at least, so the rumoured transfer kitty should do in recruiting Olise whom i’ve been hoping we sign for a while now. He’s got all skill set you’ll need from a Winger playing like we do.
Prior to signing for Arsenal, Jesus was mainly used by Brazil and Man City on the right wing where he is very effective.He may prefer playing as a central striker but he is not a natural finisher imo nor does he have the strength to hold up the ball under pressure..He is however very elusive ,links up well with others and his close control is second to none at Arsenal.Arteta clearly regards him highly and I suspect he will be reluctant to bring in a big target man which may change the dynamic of the team attacking wise when his team sits top of the League.If we do any business in January it ought to be to strengthen our central midfield where we are too dependent on the excellent Rice.
Spot on
If Arsenal can get Ivan Toney in, I can bet my rent on ys winning this title… This team is begging for a finisher and that exactly is what Toney is. With the amount if chances we create, he can confidently rival Salah and Halland for the golden boot.
Please Arteta, get Toney in by January!!!!
I would prefer Vlahovic to join Arsenal according to his consistent performance, but the only good thing about Ivan Toney he is used with premier league he can do better than Nketia.
