Arsenal finished the summer transfer window with just Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah as the forward options going into the season. A lot of pressure will be placed on both forwards with a heavy fixture schedule 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 is proving to be a blessing in disguise that Edu decided against signing a third option. The reason for this is because Folarin Balogun is currently high-flying in Ligue 1, showing that he could be a key Arsenal asset in the future and signing another player could have blocked his pathway.
