Arsenal started the season with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah as the only forward options. A lot of pressure has been placed on both due to the congested fixture list as the World Cup has taken place unusually halfway through the club fixture calendar.
Fans are concerned about the pressure on both of the players to score goals, and it was expected that an additional goal source would be signed in the summer transfer window to provide more support for the two strikers. But, this was not the case as Arsenal ended the window with Jesus as the sole attacking incoming.
However, it could prove to be a blessing in disguise that Edu decided against signing a third option. The reason for this is because Folarin Balogun is currently flying high in Ligue 1, and despite links to Jonathan David from Lille, Balogun has shown why Arsenal can instead save money.
