Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has underlined the urgent need for forward additions in the ongoing January transfer window. With the team facing an injury crisis, Arteta confirmed that the club has already identified potential targets to fill the void in their attacking lineup.
Gabriel Jesus’ Injury Sparks Recruitment Urgency
The injury to Gabriel Jesus, who is sidelined with an anterior cruciate ligament issue and could be out for a year, has left Arsenal short on attacking options. Kai Havertz remains the only recognized striker, while Bukayo Saka is also out until at least March due to a hamstring tear sustained in December.
Potential Targets for Arsenal
Arsenal has reportedly been in internal discussions over securing a forward before the transfer window closes in 10 days. Two prominent names linked to the club are RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško and Wolves’ Matheus Cunha.
Arteta’s Focus Remains on Strengthening
While Arteta refrained from commenting on specific players during a press conference ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Wolves, he assured fans that efforts are underway to finalize a forward signing this month.
Key Takeaway
Arsenal is leaving no stone unturned in their quest to bolster their attacking lineup and maintain their competitive edge in the Premier League amidst a challenging injury situation.
