A striker. A proper, good old striker. That is the only thing Arsenal fans really want in this transfer window. And so far, just like two years before, they are not getting any (yet). Viktor Gyokeres saga is now getting out of hand, but the Gunners simply need to sign a proper number 9. They got Noni Madueke from Chelsea, Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and Christian Norgaard from Brentford, but they are all waiting for a striker. On the other hand, coach Mikel Arteta is not (only) thinking about the most important need. He believes that his team is short in numbers and expects new faces by the end of the transfer window.Gabriel believes things will be different next season after letting titles slipSpeaking to the journalists in Singapore, the Spaniard was quite direct.“There’s still a long time in the window and we are seeking still, in terms of numbers, we are short and we have to improve the depth and quality of the squad. We are constantly looking in the market. Until that happens, focus on the players we have and focus on them and I’m very pleased with what I have seen in the last 10-15 days. There’s a long time to go in the window but we have still our hopes we can improve the team and we will continue to try and do that” he said. Arteta speaks about Partey rape caseArteta was also pleased that Zubimendi arrived from Spain and that he chose Arsenal even though he had other suitors.“It was a long process and he had a lot of opportunities to decide about whether he wanted to come. The good news is that this club is amazing and everyone wants to come to it. He left some very good opportunities to come to us. We are all very impressed about what we have seen over the last 7-10 days. Because once you have the player daily and you see his character, his personality, his character and how much he is going to bring to the team. Very excited about it” said Gunners boss. But when it comes to his main target, Viktor Gyokeres, Arteta remained silent. “I cannot comment on any player who is not part of our group yet. When we have something concrete to offer in any case to any player we will do that”.##NAJAVA_MECA_9023948##
