Arsenal ready to invest heavily into new forward

Arsenal is ready to untie its purse strings and make a significant investment in acquiring a top-class striker in January. Mikel Arteta insists on reinforcing the team’s attacking prowess to remain competitive in the title race until the end of the campaign, and the club seems poised to fulfill his desire, as reported by the Daily Express.

The targets set by the Gunners are now clear. Victor Osimhen from Napoli has long been a prime target, taking the top spot on the list. However, the club is also considering other options such as Ivan Toney from Brentford, Lautaro Martinez from Inter, and Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen.

To finance these potential transfers, Arsenal might need to part ways with some of its current squad members, with Thomas Partey being the most likely candidate. However, other players could also be made available on the market.

Currently occupying the third position in the temporary standings with 40 points, Arsenal trails the leader Liverpool by just two points. Despite their position, the team has only scored 36 goals, with Bukayo Saka leading the goal-scoring charts with six goals to his name.
