Nigel Winterburn, an Arsenal legend, has suggested Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa as the ideal striker target for the Gunners ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. Despite recent links with several players like Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak, Winterburn is skeptical about Isak's potential transfer due to high costs. He emphasizes the need for a proven striker like Watkins, especially after Arsenal's recent struggles with finishing during critical matches. This urgency highlights how vital a proper No.9 could be for their performance in the Premier League and Champions League.
Arsenal's need for a clinical finisher was highlighted against PSG, with Winterburn stressing, 'A proper No.9 is essential now.' The team's current injuries complicate matters but highlight urgency for a striker.
Winterburn expressed skepticism about signing Alexander Isak, surmising that a £125m investment is unrealistic, and emphasized instead that Ollie Watkins would be a solid addition to the squad.
