Mikel Arteta prodigy can help Edu Gaspar complete four-year Arsenal scouting mission
Arsenal's woes in front of goal continued on Thursday night after the Gunners fell to a 2-0 Premier League home defeat to West Ham United. Mikel Arteta's men dominated possession and registered 30 shots but failed to lay a punch on their London rivals.
Question marks continued to pile-up on the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, with the two strikers scoring a combined eight league goals between them this season. The January transfer window presents technical director Edu Gaspar with the chance to answer those doubts, but high-figure fees are expected to be demanded.
The likes of Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer, who scored a combined 435 Premier League goals, have urged Arteta to work on improving Jesus. However, with the Premier League title race heating up, there is no room for missed opportunities.
Ivan Toney, Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface and Viktor Gyokeres have all been linked with a move to north London. However, Arsenal could be presented the chance to sign a striker they were heavily tipped to sign back in 2019.
Prior to his move to Everton, Moise Kean had been on the Gunners' radar. It was reported that contact was made with Juventus to sign the striker, but a deal never happened.
Since then, it's fair to say that Kean hasn't lived up to the expectation surrounding his potential. A difficult move to the Premier League followed by lacklustre spells with Paris Saint-Germain, Kean could now be on his way back to England.
