what do you mean "not a goal scorer" in the serie A there usually aren't as many opportunities at goal as it is a VERY and I mean VERY defensive league. to give you an indication: Bologna is currently in 4th place of the serie A and only scored 49 goals all season. Inter milan is having a crazy season with 81 goals and Juventus and Ac Milan have 48 and 67 respectively. This means that Zirkzee is responsible for a solid 22% of all of Bologna's goals this season. Zirkzee is currently outperforming his xG (8.9) by 2.1 goals and has a non-penalty xG of 7.3 which is insane for a striker at a club like bologna that isn't usually in the top 6 even of Italian football.

I don;t know how people refuse to see that, yes, we scored the most goals, however, we need more options to score goals. Look at the Villa game, Bournemouth, Fulham. When teams sit low (very low), how do we score goals. Early in the season, and at times nearer the end now, we have dominated games but missed a physical poacher, almost like a Haaland or Aguero or Drogba. It isn't to say we can't score enough, but what's the point beating Sheffield or Palace 6 - 0, then drawing to Fulham and losing to Villa? It's about being able to score goals in different ways.

even halaands don't always have their ways...... look at halaand against Arsenal, Toney against Arsenal, H kane against Arsenal even Solanke against Arsenal....... there is no guarantee a 30 goal striker is going to score whenever you need him to...... besides having one focal point affects the performances of everyone else...... Arteta prefers rigid fluidity in his front line, which is why Laca faired better than a tried and testes goal scorer in Auba

With the right kind of training from Arteta, zirkzee could become a great striker for arsenal due to other elements that sets him apart from other strikers. I looked at the stats comparison between him and Alexander Isak, and was surprised. The only edge isak has over him are the goal difference.. I think his worth the risk..

a giroud would have been a blast in this team, i would take drogba too

I love Zirkzee he is an amazing dribbler and is really good at pressing he is fast and could get the best out of Martinelli with Zirkzee on the pitch it wouldn’t surprise me if Martinelli gets 15-20 goals a season

This guy is a clear example of what we don’t need… we need a finisher. Arsenal already have players like this in abundance so we need a different and unique profile of a forward player, the final piece of Arsenal attack.

I would replace Havertz by him and still go for some back ups

This zirkzee is Thierry Henry type of player he will get better

Class player good price wont moan if we get him. Dream is Isak, and very interested by gyokeres but zirkzee has been dismissed by so many but he will be a top top player one day. I think he will score goals in our team 6ft 4 version of pre injury jesus slightly better finisher for me.

Imagine Isak up front, Saka on right and Gyokeres on left. I see both Swedish and Saka as a forward of Arsenal!

Definitely who The Gunners Needed for decades👌🏿👌🏿

hes potentially the new henry

I feel like his profile fits more of a box to box midfielder or DM....should partner Rice infrastructure of the backbone...that's what Newcastle did to Joelton,a DM who used to play a striker

I would say that we already have enough players, only position thats lacking is probably left back which could probably be filled by tierney.

Everyone saying that "hes not a finisher" but he can learn that as he has the potential too ronaldo when he first started as united wasnt a so called finisher . But its still arguable that usak is better with i can agree with because hes prem proven which i belive hed get more used to arsenal then zirkzee.

i wouldn't mind him. i would rather spend big amounts of money on a midfielder and some depth

I believe that we need sign him to rotate with Kai for next season and then sell Kai for profit to Germany and also sign De jong or joa Norva or even Luis and Pedir is valuable due brac's financial crisis

He’s a good project player and with Havertz doing nothing wrong to be removed from being our number 9, we should buy this guy and sell Eddie.

@jacobalexander4167

I'm somewhat drawn to Benjamin sesko tbh

We just need a striker that can be feeled by opposition defenders

He seems too similar to Havertz. The front line press would be pretty crazy with both Havertz and Zirkzee on the pitch tho

I think he has a 34 million release clause

Him and Gyokeres will greatly improve our forward line depth.

Gyokeres or isak please

don’t mind him because we still need a winger and a midfielder 🤷‍♂️

if arteta want to make havertz as center forward and buy zirkzee, he needs to buy 1 or 2 more midfield. Because havertz didn't work as midfielder in this season.

Bayern have a buy-back of something like 35m euro and would be silly not to use it.

Joshua Zirkzee is Kanu Nwankwo 2.0.

Just look for a ruthless finisher, man. I'm not sure he is one. This guy is way too involved in every other thing for a striker.

It’s better to have total team football with everyone scoring. It’s much easier to mark one striker. Finishing is important but link up play is probably more important in Arsenals system

Honestly sounds like you have just described a slightly bigger jesus, I would rather prem proven Isaak

He's like a tall Gabriel Jesus.

Quite similar to Gabriel Jesus.

Zirkzee is definitely the one could eventually be our Drogba..Jesus needs be our starting LW trust me 😁

When you can't score goals, everything else will fall short eventually

Definitely a good player, but Is he what we need ?

My argument against this striker is that he's not Premier League proven. Arsenal best players have all played in the english league and done well. We shouldn't break that model.

Ай бұрын

Flawed argument. Only the players we bought from other premier league teams were “premier league” proven. Gabriel, Saliba, Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Partey, Odegaard et al were not when they joined. There are good players out of the EPL, ya know

Havertz in midfield please don't see him there 😢😢😢😢😢

Sell nketiah and jesus and get him as a good backup to isak

Sure , I like his movements , much better than Gyokeres. Osimhen may not be suited to the Arsenal way

It's Z-ree-k-zee, not Zackzee

The guy is good physically but i see him as another jesus

With 11 goals he's just a tall version of jesus,just get isak and we're good to go.

We have to buy two wingers and two midfielders this summer, how exactly are we facilitating 100+ million for Isak ? 100 + million for what, 10 more goals ? If he is fit ? Just a reminder that Havertz has 18 GA in the league, Isak has 21. Get our left side banging again, strengthen the midfield, and we are undefeated next season.

Tight spaces oppressive football is good news. Before man city get him.
