Arsenal management faces criticism over lack of attacking depth

Arsenal failed to acquire several key attacking targets during the summer transfer window, including Morgan Rogers, Vinicius Junior, and Julian Alvarez. Sporting director Andrea Berta managed to secure signings such as Ezri Konsa and Bruno Guimaraes, yet the club’s forward line now features less pace and depth than during the previous campaign. While the defensive unit remains well-regarded, the reliance on Christos Tzolis as the only incoming forward has drawn scrutiny from internal and external sources. Mikel Arteta emphasized the need for ambitious moves to elevate the squad to a higher level following their finish in the Champions League. The club maintains that they avoided overpaying for certain players, though critics argue the late-window sales created a difficult situation for the attacking rotation.
