Arsenal finished the summer transfer window with just Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah as the main forward options going into the season. A lot of pressure will be placed on both, with a heavy fixture schedule due to the Europa League.
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.
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 Edu prevented disrupting the Englishman’s development by engaging in a transfer battle with rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
