Arsene Wenger is ready to splash the cash and bring in top quality players in the summer transfer market to further reinforce Arsenal’s squad.
There is no doubt about the fact that their main priority is signing a striker, they really should have done that in winter but is always difficult luring top players mid-season.
Whether the decision will cost them the title this season, we shall see but Wenger just has to sign a prolific finisher for next season as Giroud is just not world class.
Many top strikers have been linked with a move to Emirates and Arsenal will have enough time in summer to lure one.
According to reports, Arsenal have numerous strikers on their wanted list for the summer transfer window which includes the likes of the following.
- Diego Costa (Atletico Madrid)
- Edin Dzeko (Manchester City)
- Mario Mandzukic (Bayern Munich)
- Jackson Martinez (Porto)
Of all the mentioned strikers, Diego Costa is arguably the best at the moment and Arsenal should make him priority number one.
The Atletico hitman has a release clause of no less than €38m in his contract and has scored 20 goals in 22 league appearances this season.
Biggest obstacle for Arsenal is that they are not the only ones interested as Chelsea need a striker and are monitoring Costa as well. Moreover, they do not have a rigid pay structure as Arsenal maintain.
It will be an intriguing transfer saga and we shall see where Costa will end up next season.
