Former Arsenal star Kevin Campbell has urged the club to sell Emile Smith Rowe and use the money to sign Ivan Toney.
After coming so close last season, Mikel Arteta hopes his team can go one step further and lift the Premier League title this campaign.
Although they have built a more solid defensive team, capable of controlling games home and away, many believe they are one piece away from having a true title-winning team.
Gabriel Jesus has certainly helped transform this Arsenal team since moving from Manchester City, but he lacks any real goalscoring upside.

Many fans have called for the club to sign a striker capable of rivaling the league’s best in the scoring charts, but that may be difficult to achieve in the January window.
Due to Financial Fair Play, Arteta may not be able to afford the necessary quality, but former player Campbell has urged the club to sell Smith Rowe to fund a move for Toney from Brentford.
“You don’t want to see Smith Rowes leave the club, a young player coming up through the ranks, but if you’re going for a title you have to be ruthless.” He said on talkSport via TBR Football.
“If you can move and shake a couple of players and then create an opportunity to get someone like [Ivan] “Toney, that’s what you have to do.”
