Robert Pires urges Arsenal to sign Victor Osimhen for trophy success

Arsenal legend Robert Pires has emphasized the need for his former club to sign a 'real striker' to address their five-year trophy drought, particularly as they compete on multiple fronts this season. Currently sitting second in the Premier League, Arsenal has been linked with several attacking options, with Pires suggesting Victor Osimhen as an ideal target. He argues that the criticism of Arsenal's frontline is unfair, pointing out that the quality is present among the current players, but a dedicated striker is essential for success, similar to what Liverpool and Manchester City possess. Pires reflected on his own experiences playing alongside great strikers and noted that adapting to modern football is crucial. With Arsenal trailing Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and seeking to strengthen their attack during the January transfer window, the club’s performance in the coming months may hinge on their ability to secure a prolific forward. Pires remains supportive of Mikel Arteta's decisions but believes that acquiring a top striker could significantly impact the team's chances of winning major trophies.
