Arsenal signed one of the most transformative figures last summer with the acquisition of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. The Brazilian has brought a level and style of performance to the striker role that has seen the Gunners elevate their best features and even in his absence have continued to show their level highlighting the wider effects of his introduction to the team.
Despite his arrival, this has not stopped suggestions that Arsenal could move for another striker. The Athletic's David Ornstein initially suggested that this could indeed be on the agenda for the summer alongside a number of other positions.
Speaking on NBC Sports, he said: “Edu as the technical director has a very clear vision of where he wants to take Arsenal, how he goes about it, and it seems to be a pretty popular figure within the club and outside. Also, the Kroenkes, who own Arsenal, they’ve had so much stick over the years but they appear to be moving Arsenal in the right direction, and they will also have targets for the summer: a holding midfielder, maybe strength in depth at fullback, maybe even a centre forward.”
