Osimhen rumoured to be connected with a potential transfer to Arsenal.
Arteta supports Havertz, Jesus, and Trossard.
Expresses scepticism about the recent acquisition of the No.9 player.
Arsenal has allegedly rekindled their interest in Nigerian national Osimhen, who appears determined to depart from Napoli this summer. However, manager Arteta has praised players such as Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Leandro Trossard as attackers, while indicating that he is not considering adding a new striker.Regarding the association with Osimhen, Arteta stated: “We possess exceptional strikers.” Gabi (Gabriel) Jesus is present, Kai (Havertz) has accumulated significant playing time in that position, Leo (Leandro Trossard) has also demonstrated his proficiency in that role, and we are confident that we possess all the requisite requirements as well. We have complete confidence in our athletes. We are determined to improve and will make every effort to do so. However, our focus will be on utilising the existing players within our team.Arsenal is attempting to overthrow Manchester City as the dominant team in the Premier League, following Manchester City’s achievement of winning their fourth consecutive league title last season. There are some who have said that the Gunners must acquire a new striker in order to surpass the Citizens and win the title. However, Arteta is certain that they do not require more reinforcements in the attacking position.In the final week of the summer transfer window, Arsenal, managed by Arteta, will play against Aston Villa, led by Unai Emery, on Saturday afternoon at Villa Park. They will then conclude the month with a home match against Brighton.
