Roy Keane and Ian Wright agree on Arsenal transfer priority amid £60m Mikel Arteta decision
Former Arsenal starIan Wright agrees with Ex-Manchester United captain Roy Keane in believing that the Gunners need to bolster their forward lines in the January transfer window. It comes as the north London outfit continue to be linked with several moves in the months to come.
One of those names has been Ivan Toney, the Brentford striker who has impressed since making his way from the Championship to the Premier League. The England international is currently serving an eight-month ban for betting breaches, but will return to action in mid-January.
Toney's strength makes him a focal point at the top end of the pitch, often drawing defenders in before finding his teammates for devastating counter attacks. His finishing is top, too, having consistently been a goal threat when in and around the box for the Bees in recent years.
His profile may be the type that Mikel Arteta currently lacks, despite having a plethora of options to play that centre-forward role at the club.Gabriel Jesus is often viewed as a quality technician on the ball that will float into positions and press off the ball, far less concerned when it comes to goal contributions.
Eddie Nketiah is that poaching goal scorer, able to add that clinical edge in the box that Jesus lacks at times, but perhaps with fewer of those quality attributes outside of it.Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard andEmile Smith Rowe have been touted with spells up front, but get few chances to do so.
