Arsenal continues to be linked with a move for a new striker, even though there are only a few days left before the transfer window closes.
The Gunners have been associated with players like Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyökeres, among other potential targets.
Mikel Arteta’s side is reportedly working hard to capitalise on any late opportunities in the final days of the window.
While most teams have wrapped up their business, Arsenal remains open to new additions. But does this mean a new striker is on the horizon?
Probably not. Arteta has expressed confidence in the current attacking options and hasn’t provided any assurances that a new striker will be signed before the window shuts.
The Gunners gaffer said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano:
“New number 9? It’s not a question that we ask ourselves because we have some great strikers.
“We fully trust our players, we want to get better… but going to try with players that are already with us”.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Signing a new striker might not give us the boost some think it will because our squad already has some of the best attackers in England.

Let’s hope so, but with Jesus injured (again) now perhaps it would be prudent for a quick re-think?
With the Big German almost never out injury, only the spoon knows what stirring in the pot.
That’s true, but you never know.
Arsenal didn’t think Jesus would be quite so injury-prone (£45m is a lot to pay for someone who is), but he’s missed 33 games in two seasons with “knee injuries” alone, yet never had this injury at City apparently.
I don’t agree with the gaffer here. We do need a striker and a proven one at that. Without a striker we will overwork the midfield and risk burn out midway. City has a proven striker and number of goals will determine the winner at last.
Yes I agree with you my friend, arsenal must sign a striker who can score them goals from any angle of field.
Haaland, Foden, Watkins, Salah, Isak, to name a few – ie, other teams also have some of the best attackers in the league, I think after the departures and Jesus injury a new attacker, preferably a striker, is crucial.
Arsenal are in verditct hurry and bought a striker before date line
if not we will suffer like last season with trophless
The one that supposed to be our first striker is now injured, and is injury prone. Arteta stop this stubbornness. Get one now before it’s too late.
Arteta please get a sporting cp striker for us know as Victor Gyokeres
We need a clinical finisher like him
With him I believe Arsenal will compete not only in Premier league but in champions league as well
I disagree with Arteta we need a new no 9. Instead of you to fortify the team the more you are saying what? please, get us a striker before the window closes . No story this season, Arteta.
Yes yes you’re right brotherly
Pls Artete sign a striker it will help Arsenal to compete with any team in the world can’t compare Aston villa they signed different players because they Gona play Champions League
I bet you were not gonna win this league with your stubbornness city pipping us with goals margin and it’s started halaand is taking city to win the league we have striker but not the ones that can win us trophy if harvert can’t score yesterday against villian that we see how is he going to score against the likes of Madrid Bayern n co we need a proofing goal finisher in the person of Viktor gyokeres osimeh has not been playing the formal onehas 58 goals contribution last season in50 matches he will compete favourably with halaand with 30 to 35 premier league goals is high time arteta stop being attach sentiment in selection n buying players if you sell the apple of fan’s eyes ESR there is no body you should not sell if the player is not delivering.Any goals come from defender or Midfielder is abonus to the team they are not Mantle to score unlike a striker that is job is to find the back of the net which PEP has found in the person of halaand not stupid to have sold jesus,harvert is a one goal in every 2to3 games, Jesus can’t give us 15goals a season if fully fit these are not the striker we expect to gv us trophy you’ll be amaze avaint when injury comes back before the end of the season it’ll shock us
I support your position 100%. Go for Gyokeres immediately without delay.
Arteta needs to swallow his pride. He needs to get for us alithal strike. Our saviour Jesus is injured. What magic arteta will do with his goat Kai?
Arteta’s stubbornness and pride will always cost Arsenal big time, the team needs a clinical experience finisher if we are to compete in the top level. Please get one before it’s too late and you will start to give excuses without ending again please do so now.
Arteta needs to swallow his pride. He needs to get for us alithal striker. Our saviour Jesus is injured. What magic arteta will do with his goat Kai?
ARTETA IS JUST USELESS AS HIS PREDISCESSORS THIS IS THE QUESTION WE HAVE HAD FOR LONG AND HE KNOWS WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT TO KNOW THAT A STRIKER IS NEEDED? WITH SUCH IGNORANCE HE WILL YILD NOTHING BUT TO FINISH IN TOP 4
If we sign Victor Gyokeres, we will lift the EPL for sure. Arteta is just stubborn but he knows it.
We definitely need a top 9 to convert the numerous chances being created by our wingers particularly Saka and Trossard.
Basing on today’s game vs Aston villa, arsenal striking line was not pleasing,so arsenal should think of buying in another striker cos already we have settled the defense and the midfield after Mikel merino’s arrival arsenal has to play a big role of signing in either gyokers or persuading Nico Williams for Arsenal’s glory in most leagues.that will be only weapon to fight our opponents
Arsenal is dealing in selling strikers like smith Rowe, Nketiah, Fabio, Nelson but replacing them is stated.forexample two of our strikers gets an injury which option shall we have. Therefore the end results not achieving our goals, so we should at least get one before the transfer window is shut.
We need a striker period. The season is so long plus European engagement. We don’t want any stories this season. Arteta should wake up. See what Erling Haaland has done to Man City. Kai Havertz is not a clinical finisher. See how he fumbled today against Villa.
Arteta pls get victor Osimhen, Arsenal needs a prolific striker
Winning like that means you can make it
We should all have some belief in Jesus like Arteta does. Forget about his lack of goals, ignore his injury record, and forget Jesus himself saying he is not a scorer.
Of course we will score another record number of goals this year, it’s guaranteed my friend.
Havertz is not injury prone, so both Kai and Saka will likely play 40 or 45 games this year, Saka is guaranteed 15+ goals and 10+ assists.
Also if we extrapolate Kai’s second half of last year into 38 games this year, he’s on pace to score 28 goals and 14+ assists; it’s a certainty my friends.
We don’t have to wonder about possible injuries, don’t be a negative thinker, we will have Saka and Havertz healthy and fit to play 40 or 45 games.
We have cover for our defense, but our offense is just fine, don’t worry about any injuries that could arise. Go Arsenal!
Kai’s, to score 28 goals? My friend this is a tall order, please we need Haaland type of striker in Arsenal.
We need a strivker even . Lookman is more affordable and flexible. We need an African figure up there just like Kanu Nwokwo was helpful at his time.
Sure we need striker who can score more goal like Goresker.
Arsenal should forget about the lazy Osimhen or Sterling and focus on bringing on Lookman and Adingira as soon as possible.
At least Arteta has become aware of Emery’s intention to prove to Arsenals board that he was a better couch than Mike.
Arteta should know that if arsenal didn’t win premier league this season, some of our big boys will start living the club to win trophy.
I wonder Arteta admit the wishes and true suggestions of all fans and soccer professionals.
Adding striker will mount him on title. None to get from dogma.
Arsenal indeed needs a proven striker to think of winning any trophy this season or we go trophyless again and this will not be good for the confidence of this youthful arsenal. Edu and Arteta should not Miss this opportunity. Next season/Year, proven strikers will be more unaffordable.
