Arsenal explores striker options to support Gyökeres for next season

Summary

Arsenal seeks another striker to complement Viktor Gyökeres following a successful season. Acquired for £63.5 million, Gyökeres scored 20 goals but showed areas for improvement, particularly in maintaining possession. As Arsenal prepares for next season, they are considering strikers like Julián Álvarez and Hugo Ekitiké to boost their attack. Coach Mikel Arteta aims to enhance their offensive capabilities and avoid reliance on Gyökeres alone, especially after challenges in the Champions League final.
