I have often said that Arsenal does not really need new players in the attacking force. Because what Arsenal really needs is high consistency.
On the one hand, I just think that Arteta is known as a coach who is able to produce a player talent. But why did he choose to spend a lot of money just to get Wirtz?
Meanwhile, for me, Arsenal current attack line still looks very good and has solid performance.
Imao Arsenal may bring in a striker because with a high schedule and target, they certainly need more options for preparation. Rather than just relying on the players they have, Arsenal will experience an imbalance if one of them is injured. The solution to a busy and tiring season is to have many more worthy replacements so that they can maintain consistency in their performance. Arsenal themselves are candidates who continue to challenge Manchester City in the Premier League so when they have a striker option, Arteta has more ways to concoct attacks. Because Arteta is a smart coach and deciding to recruit Wirtz means he is believed to be able to provide additional strength in the attack line.
Arsenal is a team that relies on team collectivity in every match so that the striker impasse in scoring goals so far can be covered by many players who are not positioned as strikers, we can see how Saka and Martinelli are projected as the spearhead in destroying every opponent defense and making it easier for other players to score goals, but even though Arsenal has a sharp attacking line, of course there is nothing wrong Arteta to continue to improve the depth of the squad they have at the moment, because I see the frequent injuries of Saka and Martinelli actually make Arsenal often lose their sharpness in scoring goals because they don't have another winger better than the two except Trossard at the moment, the signing of Florian Wirtz may add to the creativity of their midfield, but I think, the attacking midfielder is not the top priority of Arsenal because after all they have Odegaard, Merino and also Kai Havertz, besides that seeing the many big teams interested in Florian Wirtz of course it is difficult for Arsenal to get him, I think instead of their bring Florian Wirtz at a high price there is good for Arsenal to bring in a central striker who has a high sharpness and instinct in scoring goals in next transfer window.
