Arsenal’s pursuit of an experienced goal scorer to enhance their attacking prowess in the upcoming summer transfer window is widely recognized.
Despite Kai Havertz’s commendable performance as the team’s leading scorer, tallying 12 goals in the ongoing 2023-24 season, including a brace against Chelsea, some lingering concerns persist regarding the team’s need for a consistent match-winner akin to Mo Salah or Erling Haaland, players renowned for their ability to consistently find the back of the net, a trait evident in title contenders Manchester City and Liverpool.
While Gabriel Jesus has demonstrated flashes of goal-scoring ability when injury-free, Arsenal is setting its sights on Joshua Zirkzee in this transfer window, identifying him as a potential game-changer.
Zirkzee, a 22-year-old striker hailing from Bologna, has also registered 12 goals this season, as reported by WhoScored, underscoring his proficiency as a genuine center-forward rather than an auxiliary attacker like Havertz.
There’s a sense of optimism that under Mikel Arteta’s tutelage, Zirkzee could further hone his skills, mirroring the trajectory of other players who have thrived under the manager’s guidance in recent seasons.
