Arsenal Shift Focus to New Striker as Isak and GyΓΆkeres Prove Unattainable
Arsenal have intensified their search for a new striker following setbacks in their pursuit of primary targets Alexander Isak and Viktor GyΓΆkeres. According to reports, the club recently dispatched scouts to evaluate alternative options ahead of the January transfer window.
Despite strong interest in Swedish sensation Isak, currently shining at Newcastle United, and GyΓΆkeres, who has flourished at Sporting CP, both players appear out of reach due to their high valuation and unwillingness of their respective clubs to entertain offers mid-season. This has forced Arsenal to explore more realistic options to bolster their attacking options.
Manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly eager to add a forward with versatility, sharp finishing, and the ability to fit seamlessly into the team’s high-pressing system. With Gabriel Jesus enduring a mixed run of form and Eddie Nketiah still maturing as a top-level striker, strengthening the frontline has become a pressing priority for the Gunners.
Arsenal scouts are believed to be monitoring several emerging talents across Europe, although no specific names have been disclosed. The club remains determined to back Arteta with the necessary resources to sustain their Premier League title push and deep runs in European competitions.
