Arteta ready to smash Arsenal transfer budget to sign striker
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is prepared to break the club’s transfer budget to land a top striker to lead their Premier League title challenge next season.
The Gunners are set to end a fifth consecutive season without silverware, following a campaign derailed by injuries to key players including Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Martin Odegaard.
Those setbacks proved costly as Arsenal struggled to keep pace with champions Liverpool in the title race and fell short in the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
Arteta has made signing a prolific forward his top priority in the summer transfer window. Despite not featuring for almost four months, Havertz remains Arsenal’s top Premier League scorer with just nine goals, a statistic that underlines the urgent need for a reliable goal-scorer.
