Arsenal have been running around to get a striker but it seems they are not serious to spend much for the Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres and the Leipzig player Benjamin Sesko, to me it seems the Gunners are only good at getting defenders and goalkeepers because that's the only department in their squad they are always recruiting and if someone had to whisper to Arteta that Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko are defenders I believe the he would have gone all out for him. Now the Gunners have turned their attention to Hugo Ekitike as their alternative which I feel is not a sign that they are serious, but do you think the Gunners are on the right path in the transfer market, that's in getting a striker?

I think Arsenal are still not on the right track, they don't seem to have made any serious moves to improve their squad depth. Arteta needs a pure centre forward, better than Gabriel Jesus, but there's no sign of Arsenal reaching an agreement for any of the players that have been rumored. Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko, even Dusan Vlahovic are all decent strikers to target, but Arsenal have been slow to move in the transfer market. The players they've signed have been good enough, but what they need more is a number 9. Besides, I don't think Hugo Ekitike is better than Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal have always been behind other teams in the transfer market in bringing in the players they are targeting, which is why we often see who they are targeting and who they are bringing in. On the other hand, it seems that Arteta is the type who likes to play false nine. So a pure striker is not really desired, especially for just one expensive player with an exorbitant price/salary.

However, for midfielders, Arteta is very interested in recruiting many midfielders because he needs squad depth in midfield and defense, proven to be willing to spend a lot of money to buy rice. The reason is that Arsenal's number of goals was actually not bad for last season, even all players can score goals. Even Merino who was plotted to replace Havertz was actually quite good, Arteta's job is to be able to maximize the left winger because Arsenal's left winger's game is often inconsistent. That's why Arteta insisted on targeting Rodrygo compared to Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres, the point is, hopefully the players who are bought will have a significant impact on Arsenal's team development.
