Arsenal are set for a big summer ahead of them, with a number of signings linked with a move to the Emirates. While several positions may need looking at, one area appears to be the priority for Mikel Arteta.
That is in the attacking positions, more specifically at striker. Former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left the club in January for Barcelona and with duo Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah set to leave as free agents, Folarin Balogun is left as the only natural centre-forward option.
While Arteta could have looked to sign a striker in January, the Gunners didn’t end up making a single transfer, something that the manager defended shortly after. He said: “Edu and his team have done a great job. We are very clear we only want the best people and the best players at this club.”
