Is Arsenal signing a striker in the January transfer wind? Arteta speaks

Arsenal signing a striker in the January transfer window. Arsenal’s poor run of form has continued after they lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the third round of the FA CUP. An own goal from Jakub Kiwior after a Trent Alexander Arnold and a counter attack goal from Luis Diaz sealed the win for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Arsenal however could have buried the game away early enough. They created many goal scoring chances but had no one to bury them. Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka all missed some good chances whereas Liverpool utilized their own.

This has been the story of Arsenal as their front men seem to have dumped their scoring boots. Eddie Nketiah doesn’t look like the lethal striker that can drag the north London club over the line. Gabriel Jesus is rarely fit and also isn’t very clinical.

In fact Arsenal had to rely on their wingers and midfielders for their goals last season. With the January transfer window open, gooners had some hopes that maybe the club will sign a forward.

They have been linked to Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. However, a move for Osimhen doesn’t look likely in January. The viable option is Ivan Toney. But according to the Gunners manager, Mikel Arteta, it seems unlikely to sign anyone in this window. Arsenal signing a striker in the January transfer window.

He said that he will have to utilize the players that he has. Additionally, he said that all the club and fans have to do is stand behind the current players.“At the moment it doesn’t look realistic”.“My job is to improve the players we have”, he told BeIN Sports. “One thing is what we can do: we need to stay behind those players”.
