Arsenal could be looking at signing a new striker in 2025, although the market situation might still be tough, especially in January.
According to Fabrizio Romano on Caught Offside, Arsenal could look to bring in a new striker in 2025, although there is no clarity whether that will be in January or next summer. There will be big challenges in the winter window, although Mikel Arteta is certainly keen to bring a centre-forward next summer at all costs.
Arsenal resisted the temptation to spend big on a striker during the summer and kept faith with their existing option. Raheem Sterling’s loan move on deadline day was the only attacking signing the Gunners made while they parted ways with Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe, and Reiss Nelson from the squad.
According to reports, the Gunners only realistically made an effort for Benjamin Sesko, who chose to stay put at RB Leipzig rather than make an early move to a bigger club. Arsenal retain an interest in the Slovenian, as he could be a target for them in the future, probably even next summer.
Hence, the idea of them going again for Sesko in January seems unlikely, although they could be looking at different names. Fabrizio Romano has claimed in the report that Arsenal will look to bring in a new striker in 2025 without clarifying whether it will be in January or next summer.
Other names are in the mix, such as Omar Marmoush. Arsenal was among the sides that scouted the Egyptian international during Eintracht Frankfurt games this season. They had links to Dusan Vlahovic once again, although the Serb is not considered a priority target anymore.
Will Arsenal sign a striker in January?
Viktor Gyokeres also features on Arsenal’s radar, although ahead of the January transfer window, Sporting CP will maximise their demands and ask suitors to pay his full release clause, which is in the region of €100 million. The only realistic target in the winter window could be Jonathan David, whom Lille may not want to lose midway through the season, especially on the cheap.
Overall, looking at the market, it is unrealistic for Arsenal to bring in a new striker. They have already decided to keep Gabriel Jesus despite links with a move away for the Brazilian. Between Jesus and the in-form Kai Havertz, it appears that Arsenal are covered in the position until the end of the season, while they have also used Leandro Trossard in the role.
