Arsenal was told by Gary Lineker to ignore £ 100 million rated target Victor Osimhen and to sign Liam Delap instead.
The Gunners are looking for a new striker after missing one during the winter transfer window, an outcome that made Mikel Arteta 'disappointed'. Injuries to send Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli forward, have derailed Arsenal's Premier League title, with their lack of goals in the shock 1-0 loss of Saturday in Home to West Ham.
Speculation about which striker the Gunners will sign will continue to simmer and experts are shooting in with their statements. Asked by Lineker, who should recruit Arsenal, Alan Shearer of Alan Shearer of all time suggested: “Victor Osimhen is that he is not.
“He would undoubtedly score goals for them. The problem they have now is that the whole world knows that they need an attacker. So a player who may have cost perhaps £ 60-70 million, will now £ 100-110 million now be worth when Arsenal comes in.
“They will have to pay the opportunities and perhaps there were problems last summer and in January they may refused to pay the top for someone,” Shearer is, speaking on the rest, has been added to the football podcast. “They need a center of top class, they did it before a ball was kicked this season and my opinion has not changed.”
Lineker then offered an alternative. “If I were them, I would go for Delap at Ipswich,” said the day icon's competition. “I know he is young and is not fully proven, but this season he scored quite a few goals in the Premier League for a team that clearly has trouble being promoted.
“I like him and his movement. It is mentioned that he goes back to Man City, but [Erling] Haaland has sung a nine -year -old deal, so maybe you have to wait a long time to get a game. “
Shearer agreed that former Prospect Delap from Manchester City could be a solution that could be Arsenal's problems, even though it is only 22. “It seems that Ipswich will be relegated and he now has a taste of the Premier League,” the former Newcastle striker continued. “There is no doubt that a number of large clubs are watching him and other players.
“He has been one of their best players. I like him, he has a good season, he brings a positivity and a real strength. He is only better considering his age. Maybe he doesn't have the experience now, but about one He can be a big asset for years.
Apart from Delap and Osimhen, who remains a Napoli player, but this season on loan in Galatasaray, Newcastle Talisman Alexander Isak is also connected to a move to the Emirates. Shearer does not see it happening.
“I don't think Arsenal can afford it. I really don't do that. I am serious,” he claimed. “Why would he want to go there when Newcastle comes to the Champions League and wins a trophy? This can be a huge season for Newcastle.”
