So far, Arsenal's obstacle is a pure striker who can be relied on by the team, unfortunately Arteta has not brought him even though he is actually their need. Talking about Arsenal in the Champions League, I don't have much hope. However, if Arsenal's players recover from their injuries as a whole. I am quite sure that every team that meets Arsenal will have a hard time facing their resistance. Although, they do not have a very qualified number 9 player. Uniquely, Arsenal is that every player is allowed to take the opportunity if they have the opportunity to score a goal. Like in Arsenal's front line, their three front strikers always rotate, open up space for their teammates, then try to penetrate the opponent's defense and create opportunities. As for Atalanta, several teams that are their opponents in the group stage are tough opponents. There is Stuttgart which I think is equal, Real Madrid and Barcelona. We all know, it is not easy for Atalanta to win the match.

I still have not heard the reason why Arsenal refused to get a good striker in the transfer window, after losing Eddie Nketiah in the summer and knowing what is at stake this season. It is about that time Arsenal bring in a prolific striker to the squad because they are lacking a very good finisher to lead their attacking play and guarantee at least 20 goals per season for the club.

Arsenal has two strikers available, Havertz and Gabriel. They don't mind adding a new striker. They think those two names are enough to help them this season. They are focusing on other positions, not the striker position. They scored a lot last season. It's probably their reason to feel confident enough with their available strikers. And they decided not to sign a new striker.
It all depends on the coach and what he wants, I think Mikel Arteta is satisfied with the performances of both Havertz and Gabriel Jesus hence may not see a reason to bring in an extra hand to assist in that role. Arsenal finished in second position last season behind their bitter rivals Manchester city with lots of goals and assist from Havertz, Gabriel, odegaard and Saka all contributing to the tally, I believe the coach has no doubt in his front liners and would rather seek to strengthen his defense which was why he brought in Riccardo Calafiori to help in the defense because the team had a lot of issues in that area last season and they conceded lots of goals so I think more defenders and more midfielders should be brought in rather than bringing more strikers.
Regional transfers would be the best for the team. Blindly buying strikers is not right at all. If the area that is lacking is defense, it will be necessary to send a player there, but if they still transfer players to the forward area while there are problems in defense, this would be a wrong strategy on their part. I think Arsenal has built a more settled squad than last year and it seems like this will continue in the race with City.
