It is believed that Arsenal’s main agenda in the January transfer window is to sign a backup striker for Olivier Giroud. With Bendtner being the only available backup, signing a new striker looks inevitable at the moment. But the question is, “is that enough for Arsenal to win a trophy this season?”
Most probably, No, Arsenal need at-least two more good players (one in defense and another in attack), so that they will enough depth in the squad to cope up till the end of the season. Let’s leave the defensive options for now, in my opinion Arsenal need a new winger too. Arsenal are now linked with £16m rated Italian, Alessio Cerci from Torino.
Here are some reasons why the Gunners should sign Alessio Cerci,
1. Lack Of Width
With injuries to Walcott, Ox and Podolski, Arsenal was forced to play two attacking midfielders (Ozil and Cazorla) in the wings. For obvious reasons, this resulted in less width in last few games. This was very evident in their recent defeat against Manchester united at Old Trafford. Alessio Cerci offers exactly what Arsenal lack at the moment. Touted as “Italian Messi” by the media, Cerci has the ability to terrorize defenders with his marauding runs and quick dribbles.
