Gabriel Jesus is not enough... Arsenal need to sign another forward, claims pundit

Arsenal must return to the transfer market and sign another new forward.

That is according to former Gunners striker Kevin Campbell, who feels the Gunners are lacking in attack despite the £45million arrival of Gabriel Jesus.

Manchester City, from which Jesus joined Arsenal, and Liverpool both boast an embarrassment of riches up front and Campbell wants to see his old team push to build a similar array of forwards.

“We need another forward,” he told Football Insider ahead of the club’s Premier League opener against Crystal Palace on Friday.

“I would sign a versatile forward who can play across the front line.

“This is where Liverpool and Man City have got it right in my opinion. They have interchangeable pieces up top.

“If [Mohamed] Salah, [Luis] Diaz and [Darwin] Nunez don’t play, you have [Diogo] Jota, [Roberto] Firmino and Harvey Elliott. There are interchangeable pieces. They have those options even after [Sadio] Mane has gone.”
