Arsenal have clear incentive to complete £70m to give Mikel Arteta his own Erling Haaland

Arsenal's transfer interest in Kai Havertz has provided debate among supporters. The Chelsea forward has been the subject of a bid worth £55m by the Gunners, an offer falling short of the reported £70million valuation.

The Gunners' need for a new forward has been a major talking point following the conclusion of the 2022/23 season. Gabriel Jesus enjoyed a successful debut season in north London, albeit missing three months due to injury, scoring 11 goals and assisting eight.

His overall game did improve Mikel Arteta's side with his goalscoring nature partnered with his ability to drop deep and play as a false 9 supplementing the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli perfectly. However, for Arsenal to maximise their potential and become England's greatest teams, another option at centre-forward could be optimised.
