As the winter transfer window approaches, all attention is on Arsenal’s plans to back Mikel Arteta in his pursuit of league glory. The club’s need to strengthen its attack has never been more apparent. Arsenal offloaded key attackers like Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson, and Eddie Nketiah last summer but failed to adequately replace them with a top-class striker or dynamic winger.
With Bukayo Saka’s injury, Arsenal might feel compelled to prioritize signing a winger, but they also urgently need a clinical striker. While Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz occasionally contribute goals, their inconsistent finishing continues to hinder the team. Adding a reliable goal scorer could potentially resolve Arsenal’s issues in front of goal.
Alexander Isak has once again emerged as a potential target, but Arsenal legend Ian Wright has suggested another option: Eintracht Frankfurt’s in-form striker Omar Marmoush. The Egyptian forward is enjoying a stellar season, with 13 goals and 7 assists in 15 league appearances. Wright believes Arsenal should seriously consider Marmoush as a viable solution.
Speaking on the Wrighty’s House Podcast, Wright said, “If I had to pick someone right now, I’d suggest taking a good look at Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt. Look at what he’s doing—it’s impressive.”
Many of Arsenal’s striker targets would demand a hefty price tag in the winter window. However, with Marmoush reportedly valued at around £50-60 million, he could be a more affordable option. Pairing him with a £50 million winger like Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo could provide Arsenal with the firepower needed to maintain their title challenge.
What’s your take on these potential moves? Could Marmoush and Mbeumo be the right additions for Arsenal?
