Arsenal Seeks Striker Amid Title Aspirations

Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta is under pressure to deliver tangible success this season, having secured only one trophy in 17 attempts. Despite the club's belief in his progress, there is consensus among analysts that Arsenal desperately needs a proven striker to compete for the Premier League title, as they currently sit nine points behind leaders Liverpool. Former player Micah Richards emphasized the need for a goal-scorer, stating that the team lacks the striker's instinct despite contributions from players like Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard. Phil McNulty of BBC Sport acknowledged that while Arsenal has faced tough fixtures, they should not be written off yet, especially with key players returning from injury. However, he reiterated the importance of signing a dedicated goal-scorer to bolster the team's attacking capabilities. The ongoing struggles in recent matches highlight the urgency for Arsenal to address their scoring issues soon.
