Arsenal crashed to a defeat against West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. This loss dented their title challenge and left fans frustrated. Liverpool surged ahead with a win at the Etihad Stadium. They carved an 11-point gap over Manchester City. Arne Slot’s team holds one hand on the Premier League title.
Arsenal failed to cement their authority in the title race. Injuries crippled key players such as Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli. The Gunners lack a prolific goal scorer to drive their attack.
Arsenal attempted a January transfer move for Ollie Watkins. Aston Villa rejected the England international attacker. This setback left the club with no fresh options in a tight market.

Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano delivered an update on Arsenal’s striker hunt. Writing for GiveMeSport, he confirmed that the club remains quiet in the free agent market. He stressed that no concrete moves have emerged so far.
Romano revealed that Gabriel Martinelli nears a comeback from injury. His return promises a significant boost for manager Mikel Arteta. Fans hope this development can spark a change in form.
Arsenal missed a trick by not signing a striker in January. The club now must wait for the summer transfer window. This delay risks another season without a leading goal scorer.
The Gunners have eyed Newcastle United attacker Alexander Isak. However, his price tag may stretch the club’s budget. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko appears as a more affordable option.
Amid these challenges, Arsenal and Tottenham will also bid for an excellent midfielder with a brilliant future. Arsenal must learn from past mistakes and secure a solution this summer. The transfer saga intensifies as fans await decisive action.
