Arsenal must and should have a pure striker who delivers 20-30 goals every season. This has been the message from London for the past two seasons, but without success. In January, the club slammed a bid on the table of around £60 million for Ollie Watkins, but Aston Villa were not distracted. Now it is reported that Arsenal will go wild in the summer transfer window.
Arsenal tried to sign Benjamin Sesko last summer, but failed and the Slovenian striker extended his contract with RB Leipzig. In January, it was Ollie Watkins, Villa’s top scorer didn’t find his way to the Emirates either. According to the BBC, Arsenal tried to sign Alvaro Morata, but the Spanish national team captain opted for Galatasaray.
The BBC reports Benjamim Sesko is still the first choice as the new No. 9, but Arsenal are said to be willing – hold on tight – to make a €120 million bid for Lautaro Martinez.
The Argentine striker was heavily linked to the Premier League a few seasons ago, but stayed with Inter Milan. Here, the 27-year-old has delivered what Arsenal supporters dream of from their striker.
2021/22 season: 25 goals
2022/23 season: 28 goals
2023/24 season: 27 goals
So far in the current season: 15 goals
This summer, Arsenal will not miss the signing of a striker who delivers 20-30 goals every season.
