Let’s rewind to January 2024, a difficult time for Arsenal that likely impacted their chances at the league title. The team found it hard to score, managing only one goal in three matches during the New Year, making the acquisition of a new striker a top priority.
Ivan Toney was one possibility, but he ultimately joined a club in Saudi Arabia over the summer. By then, though, the urgency for a new center-forward had lessened. RB Leipzig’s emerging talent, Benjamin Šeško, was also in consideration, but he chose to renew his contract in Germany, positioning himself as a potential future target.
Currently, Arsenal is very pleased with Kai Havertz, who has excelled as the club’s No. 9.
