Jamie Carragher thinks Arsenal should actually sign striker compared to Erling Haaland for £60m
It seems like until Arsenal win a major trophy, debates surrounding their lack of a world-class striker will persist.
Mikel Arteta will be hoping that such discourse does not impact Kai Havertz’s confidence.
Declan Rice feels Havertz gets unfairly scapegoated anyway.
However, big names such as Paul Merson have urged Arsenal to sign a centre-forward as they lack an elite marksman up front.
Manchester City can rely on Erling Haaland to do the business up front while Liverpool have Mohamed Salah in their ranks, who is the Premier League’s top goalscorer this season with 19 goals in 23 games.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, who are six points behind Arne Slot’s side in the title race are missing the presence of an elite finisher, with Havertz often missing gilt-edged chances like he did twice against Wolves.

Jamie Carragher says Arsenal should sign Benjamin Sesko for £60 million
Benjamin Sesko is a number nine who has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium for a long time.
Sources told TBR Football that RB Leipzig would let Sesko leave for £59.2 million — with there being a gentleman’s agreement to let him for such a fee between both parties. Interestingly, the Gunners internally value the Slovenian international at £65 million.
In a game of ‘Transfer Deal or No Deal’ with Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher was asked whether Arsenal signing Sesko for £60 million would be a signing he rates and his answer was yes.
“Deal, they need to sign a centre-forward, otherwise they won’t win the Premier League.”
The 21-year-old is aware that he is constantly compared to Erling Haaland, saying via in September 2023: “I already said that I’m my own player.”
“The only thing that we have kind of similar is, of course, height. And also, we’re both fast but in general, we have a different style of playing.”
Sesko is reportedly keen on joining Arsenal as well, This season, the youngster has scored 14 goals and provided eight assists in all competitions.

Jamie Carragher says Arsenal should avoid Matheus Cunha move for £65 million
Jamie Carragher was quizzed about whether Arsenal should sign Matheus Cunha for £65 million and he feels the Wolves striker is not worth such a high fee while also questioning where he plays.
“He’s a good player but I’m not sure I’d be paying £65 million for him, that’s for sure. I’m not sure where he plays for Arsenal.”
Paul Merson reckons Arsenal should sign Cunha, who is having a brilliant season at the Molineux Stadium, registering 10 goals and 14 assists for a Wolves side languishing in 18th place.
