Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta desires the signing of a “lightning” striker as opposed to a direct replacement for Bukayo Saka.

 

On New Year’s Day, Arsenal defeated Brentford; however, Mikel Arteta is now seeking a new forward to alleviate the effects of Bukayo Saka’s injury, as the January transfer window is now open.

 

 

 

 

is unavailable until March, and although Ethan Nwaneri performed admirably in his absence, the Gunners could still benefit from an additional option.
