As a Gooner, I’m starting to worry, and the latest transfer rumors aren’t helping.
Multiple reports about Everton’s Amadou Onana and Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi filling my Arsenal news feed weren’t what I expected at this moment.
🚨 🇧🇪:
Arsenal have enquired for Amadou Onana from Everton.
The fee in question is around £50 million.
It is unknown if Arsenal will pounce this window or in the summer. pic.twitter.com/oTv0vtKPAH

As an Arsenal fan, I want to hear about Arsenal pushing hard to sign or negotiating for this or that striker.
Why would the Gunners want to spend £50 million on Onana or activate Martin Zubimendi’s £50 million release clause (in the expectation that he will not refuse a return to the Emirates) when they can recruit bargain strikers like, Serhou Guirassy, who has 17 goals in 14 league games. (He has an active release clause of £15 million expiring January 15th.)
For Dominic Solanke, who has 12 goals in 20 games, Bournemouth could accept a reasonable fee (though Newcastle are also keen on him).
For Dominic Calvert Lewin, who has scored three goals in 16 league games, Everton could accept a reasonable fee or even a loan deal for his exit.
Lest we forget, a Karim Benzema signing from Al Ittihad on a loan deal could also be a good deal.
Arsenal have struggled in front of goal, and I’m worried that if they don’t recruit a striker, winning the league will be more difficult than ever. Please, Edu and Arteta, find a striker to sign and satisfy our desire for new blood in attack.

Arsenal are quite wise to go for a midfielder than a striker our CM is too light and with Partey being injury prone you can not depend on him if Rice gets injured also both Jorginho and Elneny aren’t good enough for a club like arsenal so bringing in Onana make sense, when it comes to striking position most clubs aren’t willing to lose their CF in the middle of a season so better wait till the summer.
I’m asking myself the same question.
Let’s sell El Neny and Viera. This exits will make enough for a striker like Marjoral (Getafe). Then a swap deal for Onana by offering Nelson plus cash.
But we have been linked with Striker Borja Mayoral (no thanks) and now the latest name all over social media is Joshua Zirkzee (Bologna)
Arsenal are looking for a striker to buy instead of them to concentrate on one or two players whom they can buy, they will go and price this price that before you know transfer window has close, they will now be rushing during closing of transfer window at the end they bring nonsense who cannot perform. I dont know what the scout are looking out for, may be by identifying a player for another club who will come and buy them within 2 days. With this method arsenal can nvr ever progress with same people on board.
We have been linked with at least a dozen strikers in reports I have read,so what is the writer talking about?
Ask Brighton who would they fancy as a favor they might indulge us
