Arsenal fans: "We badly need more attacking players!"
Arsenal transfer team: "Say no more, we've got you covered!"
Arsenal transfer team proceeds to sign a back-up keeper, two defensive midfielders, and push hard for a new young centreback.
But seriously, I know they are working hard on attacking options too. It's just right now things don't look good in that area because of the way things are shaking out.
It feels like it, but I think our attacking targets are higher profile players with multiple clubs after them i.e. Isak, Gordon?, Gyokores, Rodygo, Nico Williams.
I imagine the undertaking is a bit more difficult and I imagine the club also don't want to be dragged through the coals with transfer/wage demands as much as we just want them to pay up. Maybe the club are still wary of another Pepe type situation, which is fair?
I think it's also compounded when you see the likes of Liverpool, City, Chelskie snapping up their targets relatively quickly.
