Will Arsenal need to sign a new striker in 2025?
Arsenal were in the market for a new No.9 this summer but were unable to bring a striker to the Emirates Stadium because they could not find the right player.
Arteta is likely to sign a new attacker during next summer’s transfer window, however, the London club have been linked with a move for Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic in January. The Gunners have long shown an interest in the Serbian star, as it’s clear their Spanish coach likes the 24-year-old.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal make a move in the coming months, but for now, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard will need to step up to help Saka.
