I think Arsenal need a good striker. If they can't sign a good striker, they can't stay strong in this race. Liverpool are in this race because of the personal skill of the manager Jurgen Klopp. When Jurgen Klopp leaves this team next season, they may never be in this race again. My assessment tells me that Manchester City are the only favorites.
Currently, Arsenal are actually quite good with Gabriel Jesus, but they don't have another great striker on the bench. This sometimes makes Havertz fill in for Gabriel Jesus when he is absent and I don't think Havertz is good enough considering his original position as an attacking midfielder. Liverpool has returned to being a strong team that cannot compete for the title next season and indeed Manchester City will be the strongest team in the future. However, I still believe that Arsenal will be a team that can compete with Manchester City in the future.
Currently, Gabriel Jesus may not be the ideal striker for Arsenal if they aspire to clinch trophies, as they require forwards who possess greater intelligence and precision in scoring goals. It's not that Gabriel Jesus lacks skill, but rather, he may not meet the standards necessary for Arsenal's ambitions. Furthermore, his injury-prone nature adds another layer of concern. Even when he's fit, his presence in the squad doesn't significantly bolster Arsenal's attacking prowess as anticipated from a frontline player.
Therefore, in competitions like the Premier League where Arsenal aims to compete for trophies, players of Gabriel Jesus's caliber should serve more as backup options rather than the primary choice for the striker position. Arsenal needs someone who can consistently deliver in crucial moments and elevate the team's performance to championship levels, which may require exploring alternatives to Gabriel Jesus
