Mikel Arteta will be asking Edu to sign at least one striker in the summer transfer window. And the Arsenal manager will more than likely request two strikers, given Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah look set to leave the club on free transfers.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left the Emirates Stadium in January, making the move to Barcelona on a free after his contract was terminated. And that has left Arsenal light up front, with Lacazette failing to score from open play since a victory over Southampton in December and that is a huge concern for the Gunners.
Lacazette and Nketiah are both out of contract at the Emirates Stadium this summer and neither are likely to sign extensions to stay beyond the end of the current campaign. That will force Arteta and Edu into the transfer market and if they want to sign like-for-like, or at least number-for-number, they will look to bring two strikers into the club.
