"Arsenal reportedly have some concerns about Kai Havertz's long-term fitness in developments that surely mean they need to make another major investment up front. The Gunners signed Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon in the summer, but he hasn't made that convincing a start at the Emirates Stadium. Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus has only just returned from a lengthy injury, and Havertz is seemingly struggling with his fitness again."
"With Gyokeres struggling for form, Havertz suffering after so many injury problems, and Jesus never exactly looking like the most prolific type of centre-forward, it's surely time for another major statement by Arsenal in the transfer market. AFC notably spent big on Declan Rice in the summer of 2023 and he's proven transformative for the club, while they've also shown plenty of ambition with smart deals for top class players like Martin Zubimendi and Eberechi Eze."
Arsenal face growing concerns over Kai Havertz's long-term fitness after a knee flare-up led to careful minutes management following a season-opening absence. Viktor Gyokeres has not yet produced a convincing start since his summer move, while Gabriel Jesus is only just back from a lengthy injury and lacks prolific scoring. These attacking doubts increase pressure to make another major forward signing in summer 2026 to avoid regression. Julian Alvarez is suggested as a prime target based on superior recent scoring, and the club has previously completed high-profile, transformative signings like Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Eberechi Eze.
