The Arsenal front line is as shallow as it can possibly be and lacks star quality. Another striker is in great need at the Emirates, and here are three reasons why.
Arsenal have two senior strikers in their entire squad; Olivier Giroud and Nicklas Bendtner. Giroud for starters is a hard working striker that can sit back and hold up play, which is useful, but his finishing is awful. He wastes too many chances and looks timid when facing tough defences. He is also knocked off the ball far too easily and struggles to beat a single defender. Meanwhile, Nicklas Bendtner is a talented individual, whether you like him or not, there is no denying it. However, he is arrogant, lazy and thinks he is too good for Arsenal, when in fact he is probably not good enough. A new striker is needed to give Arsenal more choices when facing large clubs, as if an opposing manager watches Arsenal play, they will know that they will be facing Giroud, and will also know that it isn’t that hard to stop him.
All in all, Olivier Giroud isn’t a bad striker. He tries hard and is also good at finding space and working openings, however his conversion rate is rather embarrassing for a supposed top club striker. Their Premier League and Champions League rivals have top talent up front, as Manchester City and Liverpool both have one of the best strikers in the world in their ranks, as City have Sergio Aguero, while Liverpool is the home of Luis Suarez. Arsenal have no player to compete with the two South Americans, and it makes the squad look worse and also gives them a huge disadvantage against other top teams.
Arsenal haven’t done it much in the past, it has become a common sight in football for a big club to make a big signing to let the world know what they are aiming for, and also to rubber stamp their name as one of the biggest clubs in the world. Arsenal did it over the summer with Mesut Ozil, but as good as the German is, he is still not enough for Arsenal to call themselves Champions League contenders. A new striker would see their stock rise, and would also see them move up the list of potential Champions League winners, no matter how hard it will be to get past Bayern Munich in the last 16.
