Last summer Arsenal were on the lookout for a striker and several targets were linked. However, it became clear that their priority was Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus and the Brazilian was secured with his influence on the side significant enough to push them into a title race.
However, there have been suggestions that perhaps the Gunners could do with some variation in their forwards. Mikel Arteta would then have greater options to choose from and have greater versatility to take on the varying challenges the league and European football throw up.
One player linked in the summer of 2022 was Gianluca Scamacca. The then Sassuolo striker had come off the back of a good season in Serie A scoring 16 goals in 36 matches which eventually secured him a move to West Ham United.
