To strengthen their assault for the upcoming campaign, Arsenal reportedly wants to recruit Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen, Joshua Zirkzee, or Viktor Gyokeres in the summer. This information comes from The Daily Mail.
There’s a rumour about the top striker the Gunners will sign every day. Thus, four elite strikers have been identified by the Daily Mail, one of them is probably going to sign on to Arteta’s project in the summer.
Ivan Toney of Brentford was alluded to as Arsenal’s top striker target not so long ago by transfer guru Dean Jones. Without a question, the Englishman is a talented striker; since serving his betting sentence, he has netted four goals in seven appearances. Those who said he was done have certainly been silenced by him. It would be wise for Edu and Mikel Arteta to sign him.
It is noteworthy that Thomas Frank, the manager of Brentford, disclosed that Toney might depart in the summer. According to one source, he could potentially be had for as little as £50 million. Arsenal will have competition because other teams are also aware of this transfer chance.
Targeting Various Strikers
Thankfully, the Gunners have located several potential targets. The Daily Mail claims that Victor Osimhen of Napoli, Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna, and Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon are the other targets.
These three forwards are intriguing candidates for Arsenal because of their impressive goal scoring history. These are their league standings as of right now for the current season:
In 14 games, Victor Osimhen has eight goals and two assists.
In 25 league games, Joshua Zirkzee has three assists and nine goals.
In just 21 league games, Viktor Gyokeres has eight assists and 17 goals.
Arteta might significantly boost Arsenal’s offensive if he were able to recruit Toney, Osimhen, Zirkzee, or Gyokeres. Possessing a gifted striker would give the Gunners a superior substitute for Gabriel Jesus and enable them to compete on all fronts in the upcoming campaign.
Jesus is an extremely gifted attacker, but he has struggled with recurring injuries and is not a frequent goal scorer. owing to a persistent knee injury, the Brazilian hasn’t played since late January. He also missed a significant chunk of the previous season owing to a similar problem.
Jesus was not used as a substitute in Arsenal’s 4-1 victory over Newcastle last time out, according to The Daily Mail. Jesus has just resumed full training. Arsenal is expected to manage Jesus cautiously in the remaining months of this season.
