In early 2024, Arsenal's warm weather trip to Dubai significantly rejuvenated their campaign, bringing the team together for success. However, the decision to replicate this strategy in early 2025 backfired as injuries mounted, notably with Kai Havertz suffering a torn hamstring. This left Arsenal with a limited attacking force. The lack of a winter transfer to sign a new striker became a glaring oversight. Facing setbacks, the team is now forced to consider free agents or promote academy players, but options appear bleak, creating a challenging scenario for Arteta's squad.
Mikel Arteta's trip to Dubai in early 2024 revitalized Arsenal's season, but a similar strategy in 2025 has led to setbacks and injury woes.
With Kai Havertz's significant injury, Arsenal lacks depth upfront and is limited to signing free agents or promoting from the academy during a challenging season.
The decision not to sign a striker during the winter transfer window appears regrettable, and now the team faces a difficult position going forward.
The options available to Arsenal for a potential striker replacement are uninspiring, with the possibility of resorting to either a former player or young academy talent.
