BREAKING: “Arsenal need a prolific striker”- Top Journalist has just confirmed Arsenal are ready to land a ‘high profile’ striker to the Emirates as Mikel Arteta wants to address his main problem- BBC Pundit says Arsenal can win the league with him
‘Different ball game’: BBC pundit says Arsenal could win the league if they signed £80m man now
Arsenal will be hoping to challenge for the Premier League title again this season.
After running Manchester City so close last term and adding almost £200m worth of new talent this summer, the Gunners will be hoping to get their hands on a league title this term.
However, according to Stephen Kelly, speaking on the BBC Radio Five Live Football Daily Podcast, the north London club are still one player short
Kelly believes that Arsenal still don’t have a striker who is good enough to lead them to a league title, claiming that if the Gunners went and signed Harry Kane from Tottenham then the conversation would be very different.
Arsenal need a striker
Kelly gave his verdict on the Gunners and the £80M man.
“It’s the centre-forward, I think if they get, listen, if Arsenal were to sign Harry Kane it would be a different ball game, then we would say they have a chance, but they don’t have that right now, they don’t have that centre-forward who is going to be pivotal, I know Jesus is phenomenal at what he does, but he’s never going to score that many goals,” Kelly said.
Do they?
It’s easy to say that Arsenal need a prolific striker to win a league title, but, in our view, that’s quite an outdated way to look at things.
Did Kelly miss the season two years ago when Manchester City won the league without using a recognised number nine for most of the season? Or last year when Arsenal put up a huge points tally with Gabriel Jesus leading their line.
These days, goals don’t have to come solely from your strikers, and Arsenal will probably be fine.
With that being said though, the idea of Kane playing in this fluid Arsenal team is mouthwatering, but, as we all know, that’s never going to happen.
