Arsenal’s win over Chelsea last weekend was a welcome result, but it underlined the need for reinforcements in attack. The Gunners struggled to create chances in their 1-0 victory, relying on a Mikel Merino header from a corner to secure three points.
Mikel Arteta’s side have played 29 Premier League games this season, and in 14 of them, they have scored one goal or fewer. Injuries have played a role in that inconsistency, but Arsenal’s attacking struggles this season contrast sharply with their form last year. In 2024, they scored 114 goals in all competitions—their best scoring record in over 60 years. However, this campaign has shown the need for more depth and quality in the final third.
