Arsenal must sign a new striker if they are to win major trophies and should target a surprise star from Premier League rivals Liverpool . That is the opinion of former Reds midfielder Dietmar Hamann, with the Gunners tipped to buy a new forward this January transfer window in order to rescue their season.

Though Arsenal are second in the table, they have dropped crucial points on numerous occasions, allowing Liverpool to extend their lead to six points with a game in hand. And while Mikel Arteta’s side have done well in the Champions League, they have been knocked out of the FA Cup and are 2-0 down in their Carabao Cup semi-final tie against Newcastle.

Though they’ve had little issue creating chances, a lack of clincalness in front of goal has cost them, with Kai Havertz being their top scorer in the league with just eight goals. Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Jhon Duran are among the names linked with the Emirates but Hamann believes a certain Anfield striker could be exactly what Arteta needs.
‘I can’t see Arsenal winning anything without a centre forward,’ the Champions League winner told BestOffShoreSportsbooks. ‘You could maybe win a cup with a bit of luck and you can win the Champions League without being the best team, but in the Premier League you need to be the best and without a centre-forward there are few teams in history to have won that way.
