Arsenal has a clear objective for the next transfer window: to bring in a top-level striker to enhance the team's competitiveness. The sports management has compiled a list of seven possible reinforcements for the front line: Liam Delap, Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko, Ollie Watkins, Lautaro Martínez, Samu Aghehowa, and Jonathan David. The search aims to secure a more efficient attacker capable of making a difference in the Premier League title race.

One name that has garnered significant attention is Liam Delap, who has excelled at Ipswich Town with an impressive goal-scoring campaign. His background at the Manchester City academy and progression in elite football have made him a target for several important English clubs. His potential transfer fee is estimated to be around 40 million pounds.

Another candidate is Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. The Swedish striker has showcased his quality in the Premier League, although acquiring him won't be straightforward as his club values him at no less than 120 million pounds, a sum that could complicate Arsenal's aspirations.

Who will be Arsenal's next striker?

Similarly, Ollie Watkins remains on the Gunners' radar. Arsenal attempted to sign him in the winter market, but the offer was rejected by Aston Villa. However, the striker has expressed his admiration for the London club on multiple occasions, potentially paving the way for an agreement in the summer if negotiations progress favorably.

Benjamin Sesko is another name in consideration. His standout performances at RB Leipzig and a 70 million euros release clause make him an intriguing option for the London side, which came close to signing him in the past.

Regarding Lautaro Martínez, his talent and experience at Inter Milan position him as a luxurious choice. It has been rumored that Arsenal made a 120 million euro offer for the Argentine striker, though his departure will hinge on the stance of the Italian club.

On another front, the young Samu Aghehowa has attracted interest from several Premier League teams after a stellar season at Porto, while Jonathan David, who will become a free agent after his contract with Lille expires, emerges as a cost-free market opportunity to bolster the squad.

Arsenal faces the challenge of selecting the best option to enhance their attack and vie for becoming a title contender in the forthcoming season.
