Enough Of Giroud, Arsenal Should Buy One Of These Super Strikers

Time is perhaps running out for Arsenal’s French striker Olivier Giroud. Thanks to his off field antics, it looks as if his time at the Emirates is coming to a premature end. If reports from major tabloids are to be believed, Wenger will reportedly receive £100 million to improve his current crop and so we here at Soccersouls decided to provide three of the most logical strikers the Gunners can pursue their chase in the coming summer.

1. Jackson Martinez:

The 27 year old has been irresistible this season scoring 18 goals in 32 appearances for Porto in all competitions.

Italian club Napoli were interested in the Columbian striker before Gonzalo Higuain eventually arrived from Real Madrid. Tactically brilliant, fitting any jigsaw, Martinez has sheer pace, a lethal finish and a terrific work rate which will be key to adapt to Arsenal’s playing style if he does arrive at the Emirates. Moreover, Martinez has that raw pace to burn defenders on Jo’s trail and as reports suggest he might make a move away from Porto this summer. He won’t come cheap though and as Porto remains a tough club to deal with, but Arsenal negotiators have enough experience to seal any mega deals.

2. Mario Mandzukic:

With the imminent arrival of Robert Lewandowski, Mandzukic’s time is well and truly over at Bayern Munich. With Wolfsburg also rejecting a move for the Croat in the summer, Mandzukic would be the perfect fit for the Gunners. A lethal finisher who can press relentlessly and has good positional awareness will interest Arsene Wenger. His goals per game ratio is close to one as Croatian hit man has scored 17 goals in 17 Bundesliga starting appearances this season. If Pep  finally sell him in the summer and if Arsenal are to get him, he would be well worth the splurge of cash.

3. Michy Batshuayi:

This 20 year old Belgian currently sits atop the top-scorers list in Belgian League with 18 goals in 29 domestic appearances. A superb talent considering his age, Batshuayi has attracted interests all over Europe, but has a soft corner for the Gunners, revealing he dreams to play for the London club one day. If Arsenal wish to continue fighting alongside Europe’s elite, it’s the signings by Wenger which will underline the intent. The Standard Liege player with a calm head on young shoulders  may come cheap too, with a price quoted around 8 million.
