Former Aston Villa striker and pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor believes that Arsenal need two strikers this summer following Alexandre Lacazette's departure to Lyon on a free transfer.
Eddie Nketiah is expected to secure his long-term future at the Emirates, which is a surprise as a couple of months ago it looked increasingly likely that he would be playing his football elsewhere next season.
But following a string of excellent performances towards the latter stages of the Premier League campaign, the 23-year-old showed what he is capable of when given consistent minutes in the first team and it looks like Mikel Arteta has persuaded him into staying at the club.

Gabriel Jesus has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates and it certainly would be an excellent piece of business if the Gunner were to strike a deal with Manchester City for the Brazilian international.
Jesus is versatile, capable of operating across the entire frontline, is an excellent presser and possesses significant experience despite only being 25 years of age. But should Arsenal manage to acquire his services, Agbonlahor has stated that Arsenal will still need to sign another striker.
“If I was them I’d try and get two strikers," he said. "If they are left with Nketiah and Jesus, then it could be enough.
“If they were to sign Gabriel Jesus, and he was to get injured, you wouldn’t want to be left with just Nketiah.
“One more striker would be perfect for Arsenal. Maybe a different type. A bigger striker who can hold the ball up.
“Arsenal need numbers, they need midfielders, another right-back. There are problems there for Arsenal.”
