Arsenal hopes for lethal 23/24 strike partnership increase with £30m Brighton deal agreed

The striker department continues to be a position of debate at Arsenal. The club have seen both Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah help the club fight with Manchester City for the Premier League title despite very few, if any, believing that would be the case.

It cannot be forgotten the contribution that Leandro Trossard has made either. The £27million acquisition from Brighton in the January transfer window has been a storming success and one many feel deserves more minutes and see little surprise in the four matches the Gunners have failed to win since he was dropped from the starting XI.

However, there’s scope for improvement and perhaps to reach the next level and better compete with Man City and Erling Haaland next season, Arsenal need to find a more regular goal scorer that can partner Jesus and create a dynamic to create a higher goal tally. One option is already on the books at the club but there’s been significant talk of his potential departure, Folarin Balogun.
