It doesn’t actually shock me that Arsenal are usually not being talked about as severe contenders for Hugo Ekitike, even when Mark Brus made an excellent case for the signing right here.
He’s clearly a prime expertise and has had an excellent season in Germany with Frankfurt, scoring 22 objectives in complete. From what I’ve seen of him, he additionally seems to be tailored to be a hit within the Premier League.
However once I take a look at the kind of striker that Mikel Arteta desires to function with in his system, I’m simply undecided Ekitike matches the invoice.
Benjamin Sesko a greater match for Arsenal than Hugo Ekitike
You possibly can see why Arsenal are so eager on Benjamin Sesko. He simply seems to be like he’ll match into Arteta’s system completely, however I’m undecided you possibly can say the identical with Ekitike.
That’s not a criticism and to be trustworthy I believe there’s a robust argument that Arsenal ought to be in search of one thing a bit of bit totally different to what they have already got.
Arsenal have appeared a bit predictable beneath Arteta, they actually did final season anyway, and perhaps they want one other sort of possibility to provide the opposition one thing else to consider.
However I’m simply undecided that’s what they’re actually in search of.
It’s been a gradual begin however Arsenal are planning a major window
When it comes to the early enterprise being performed by Arsenal’s Premier League rivals this summer time, I can perceive why there’s a sense of frustration rising amongst the fanbase.
Liverpool are exhibiting actual intent within the early days of the window. There’s no sense of them taking their eye off the ball attributable to their title celebrations. If something, it seems to be like they’re decided to ship out a press release to everybody else that they’re out to construct on their success.
That may be a fear, given how clear they completed above the remainder of the league final season and given the standard of gamers they’re now wanting to usher in.
However I do assume at this early stage of the window it’s a must to try to ignore what is going on elsewhere and simply wait to see what your individual membership does. There may be nonetheless such an extended solution to go.
Arsenal need to considerably strengthen this summer time. That message has been made abundantly clear and I believe they’ll.
