Arsenal continues to monitor the transfer market as they explore a move for Mikel Merino this summer.
The midfielder might not be their final signing, with many fans and observers still hoping for the arrival of a new striker. Mikel Arteta’s side has been prolific in front of goal, but the addition of a world-class forward could elevate their squad even further.
There’s growing anticipation among supporters, particularly with rumours swirling about Eddie Nketiah possibly leaving the Emirates before the window closes. His exit would seem to increase the need for a fresh attacking option, yet that move appears unlikely.
According to Football Insider, Arsenal has opted against signing a new striker this summer. The club is set to stick with their existing options, and that position won’t change even if Nketiah departs.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We were among the top scorers in the top European leagues last season, so we did not have to sign a new frontman this summer.
However, doing so will improve our chances of winning silverware, and it will be interesting to see how we perform without doing that.

if more goals is the objective (new striker offers nothing else) then raising the output of our left hand side is more obvious and more easily obtainable
why?
because our left hand side has produced lots of goals in the PL before (i.e. PL proven), getting back to previous performance levels adds at least 10 goals
strikers from other leagues are not PL proven, very inconsistent performers based on history, and somehow ignored requires Havertz to not play upfront (someone has to not play for the new striker to play, unless you want a special 12 player exemption for Arsenal), i.e. score significantly more goals than Havertz and at least the same number of assists and partner Odegaard in the high-press…guaranteed!
i agree an additional attacking option that can play across the front three would be useful for a variety of reasons…but the proven +25 PL goal scorer or Arsenal can’t win the PL is just fantasy
Rumours saying he could be on his way to Forest and has cleared out his box at the Emirates.
Hope that rumour is true as our stance on Eddie as a club and the stance of those fans who supported the club rather than complain will be justified when we get around £30m for him.
I hope he gets the move, if only to replace the useless tw@t Wood, who missed a hat trick of easy chances against City late last season.
If we do sell Nketiah, we are still in the market for a replacement, but we have to get the right fee first.
That’s right
Oke I understand, so I’m waiting, for the approval
