Arsenal will ignore club legend Thierry Henry's plea for a new striker in the transfer window of January.
The Gunners strengthened their title Hope with an emphatic 5-1 win over Manchester City on Sunday. It kept the side of Mikel Arteta within six points of Liverpool and was a confidential result for Arsenal while they wanted to catch the leaders.
Kai Havertz was one of the goal scorers at the Emirates Stadium and shot all competitions in his 15th goal of the season. The center of Arsenal's attacks has often been a controversial issue, given the observed lack of clinical lead from Havertz. Gabriel Jesus has also sustained a seasonal injury and Bukayo Saka remains offside with a hamstring problem.
Although there were no signs of attacking problems in the rout of Arsenal about the city, Henry called on the club not to hide their center-forward issue. Despite the protests of Henry, however, the Gunners have no plans to get a striker before the transfer deadline of 11 p.m.
Talksport was reported that Arsenal was only willing to recruit when one of their long -term goals became available, which will probably not happen on the last day of the transfer window. Arteta is claimed to be relaxed about his striking options because of the goal of Havertz, despite the fact that the club submits an offer for Aston Villa Forwill Ollie Watkins last week.
“There is one thing I wanted to mention as an Arsenal man. Always Arsenal -fans say to me, we need a nine. Nobody will ask for a nine after this match,” Henry Sky Sports said on Sunday.
“Yes, they still have to ask. It is not because you have won 5-1 that you don't need nine. As Arsenal fans, we have been asked for a nine for two years, four transfer windows.
“We've still not seen it. You can't call nine calls if you can't stop the ball in the back of the net and then, if you do, forget about it, “he went on.
'You call at nine all the time and get it in the summer. “We haven't done that yet. “
Arsenal has scored 49 goals this season so far, four less than at this stage last season and seven less than the current leaders Liverpool, who have a competition in hand. The Gunners were also associated with RB Leipzig -striker Benjamin Sesko and Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich this month, among many others.
Despite Henry's call for reinforcements, it seems that Arsenal must rely on the goals of Havertz to deliver a long -awaited competition title. The Gunners are the next in action on Wednesday, because they look at a 2-0 deficit against Newcastle United to reach the Carabao Cup final.
