Arsenal fans are debating striker options to solve the team’s scoring woes.
From Benjamin Šeško to Viktor Gyökeres, who is the best fit for Arteta’s vision?
Arsenal supporters have been debating the club’s potential striker options as the Gunners look to strengthen their attacking line amid an injury crisis that has sidelined Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka.
On social media, fans voiced their opinions about a shortlist reportedly including Benjamin Šeško, Dusan Vlahović, Viktor Gyökeres, and Nico Williams, with a clear favourite emerging.
Šeško, the 21-year-old Slovenian striker currently at RB Leipzig, appears to be the top choice for many fans.
His 14 goals this season, including standout performances in the Champions League, have strengthened the argument that Arsenal should move for him immediately. One fan described Šeško as “raw but with a high ceiling,” while others cited his energy and potential as the ideal long-term solution for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Reports suggest that while Leipzig prefer to hold onto Šeško until the summer, Arsenal might consider exceeding his £60 million valuation to secure him in January.
Opinions on Vlahović, however, remain divided. While some believe the Juventus striker’s physicality could translate well to the Premier League, others see him as a risky investment given his inconsistency and high wage demands.
One fan remarked, “Vlahović has got Chelsea flop written all over him,” while another suggested a loan deal with an option to buy might be the safest approach.
Gyökeres, now thriving at Sporting Lisbon, is also a popular candidate. Fans highlighted his power and directness, with one noting, “That raw running power is something we don’t have.”
Despite questions about his previous stint in England with Coventry City, his Champions League hat-trick against Manchester City and goal-scoring form for Sweden have strengthened his case.
Nico Williams, the versatile Athletic Bilbao winger, is viewed by some as “similar to what we already have” but still an exciting prospect.
However, his rumoured £300,000-per-week wage demands are seen as prohibitive, with one fan commenting, “I just don’t get the Williams hype… I think there’s better at those prices.”
As the January window narrows, Arsenal must decide whether to make a bold move or risk missing out on a forward who could reinvigorate their title challenge.
