Mikel Arteta wants to sign striker he believes will be perfect for Arsenal’s team

Arsenal are looking to sign a new striker in January and Mikel Arteta believes he has found the perfect player for his team.

The Gunners were held to a frustrating goalless draw at home to Everton as their need for a new centre-forward was highlighted. Arteta’s side managed 13ও attempts at goal, however, they just couldn’t find🦋 a way past Jordan Pickford.

It’s been evident for a while that a lack of a goal scorer has been holding Arsenal back and the Spanish manager is keen for that to chan💃ge next month.
