I think Arsenal could be one of the top four teams in the league, but I know Arsenal's goal is more than the top four. That's why Arsenal is still racing for the title. Together with a quality striker, they will increase their chances of achieving this. The league title is very important for Arsenal because they have been trying to get it for years.
Arsenal would most likely be amongst the top four teams when the current season ends. And yes, their aim is much more than just finishing amongst the top four. Last season, they played well but sadly couldn’t maintain the lead and fell behind, giving Manchester City the lead and ultimately the EPL title last season.
They’ve been somewhat inconsistent in their performances and have lost out on some games that they would have ordinarily had won. They still have a shot at the title but they do need to step up in their efforts. I do think they’ve got the right players to get them where they need to be. The top of the table.
So far, Arsenal owner Kroenke has poured a lot of spending money into Arteta's needs, and Arteta is even reportedly hunting for several names in the middle of this season to add to the strength of his squad. in particular, some names are positioned as pure stickers. recently I read a rumor or gossip, that the potential target is Ivan Toney. apart from that, there are two other names, namely Dustan Vlahovic and Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface. of the three names of these players, I prefer Victor Boniface. even if he joins Arsenal, his career will shine even more and at the same time test his ability to play in the Premier League. unfortunately, if the rumors are true, an agreement like this in the middle of the season will be difficult to achieve, considering Leverkusen's status as contenders for the Bundesliga title this season.
Well, what Arteta and Edu are doing to improve the performance of their team's squad and achieve the targets they are aiming for. which means, if Arteta fails and is only able to bring Arsenal to finish in the top four of the Premier League. then his career seems to be at stake, because I'm sure that Arsenal owner Kroenke wants the Premier League trophy. that's why, he is willing to support Arteta with what he needs. so, in the next matches Arteta's task will be even tougher and will have quite high challenges. he must return his squad to its true performance and at the same time, add strength to his front line. therefore, I am quite sure that Arteta will bring in a pure striker who is able to answer the team's needs as a goal getter. that doesn't mean Gabriel Jesus isn't good, but Arsenal need more than that if they want to win trophies this season. as for Nketiah, it looks like he will leave. however, we'll just see Arsenal's development and what Arteta will do.
