Mikel Arteta could have been given a key insight to his next striker signing due to the ability of his targets being able to carry their country to a major competition. The Gunners will be in desperate need of a striker in the summer, as this season they have lacked a frontman who can put the team on his back during times of need.
The club have been heavily linked with Jonathan David, Victor Osimhen and Alexander Isak in recent times. All three forwards had a crucial part to play in attempting to get their nation to the World Cup in Qatar in November.
However, David was the only player out of these targets who achieved World Cup qualification, and he had a major part to play in helping Canada reach their first-ever World Cup. The 22-year-old alongside Alphonso Davies are the standout stars for the Canadian national team, and David is tasked with the toughest challenge of all: leading the team in scoring.
