Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Arsenal are a club proud of their youth development, with a flurry of stars coming through the ranks to impress in the senior team.
Naturally that can’t happen all the time and fix every hole in the squad that needs to be filled, which leads to investment in the transfer market, but it’s definitely something Arsenal should consider- especially with the other option being a multi-million signing.
Many in the media have cried out since the summer for Arsenal to sign a new striker but the need isn’t as apparent as many believe. Olivier Giroud is thriving this season, joint-top scorer within the Arsenal squad with nine goals, and Theo Walcott has shone in a forward role.
With Arsenal’s favoured line-up featuring just one striker, and both current options within the squad impressing, the necessity to splash the cash on a first-team forward isn’t pressing- especially when we have young players in the squad that can step-up.
Sure, these players may not be able to take the pressure of first-team football week in, week out but if Giroud and Walcott keep up their current form they won’t need to- and as a result this three strikers can be considered an alternative option, one that would cost Arsenal a lot of money.
