Arsenal told to sign Victor Osimhen this January

Pundit Micah Richards has urged ARSENAL to sign a striker that could make an immediate impact on the side for the remainder of the season, as the Gunners crashed out of the FA Cup to Manchester United.

With Arsenal suffering persistent issues in their attack, often opting for Kai Havertz in a false nine role due to the absence of a traditional striker, Mikel Arteta has faced calls to add a proven goalscorer to his squad — but he has yet to make the move in the market, which continues to haunt him.

This was highlighted once more as Arsenal succumbed to defeat in Sunday’s FA Cup clash with Manchester United, dominating play yet failing to capitalized on their opportunities, inevitably leading to demands to buy a new striker.

Then Gabriel Jesus pick up an injury which could keep him out of the side for a while, and with Mikel Arteta now facing fresh calls to sign a new forward in the January transfer Richards has suggested that Arsenal should sign a striker who could make an immediate impact such as Victor Osimhen.

‘It’s hard, you can’t just go out and get a No.9, there’s not that many in world football,’ Richards said.

‘The one I looked at as maybe short term was Osimhen. The problems he’s had at Napoli, he’s been allowed to go on loan in Türkiye.

‘But he’s a proven goalscorer at that level, in the Champions League as well.

‘Obviously, I’m sure Arsenal would like to have someone like Isak.’

The January window has been open for two weeks now and Arsenal have been making no moved to get any transfer deals done, and the fact that Osimhen doesnt want to move at this stage of the season, getting the Nigerian star could be very difficult.

ARSENAL do need to sign a striker this January, but with a few weeks to go, they need to start making moves or they will not win anything again this season.
