Arsenal fan Piers Morgan believes Mikel Arteta must sign a striker in January to maintain a Premier League title challenge. The TV presenter believes Brentford’s Ivan Toney would be an ideal candidate to become the Gunners’ new frontman.<\/p>\n

Arsenal are unbeaten six games into the new season. However, they are already four points behind Manchester City, who have had a perfect start to the campaign.<\/p>\n

Arteta’s side have dropped points at home to both Fulham and north London rivals Tottenham. Eddie Nketiah has just one goal in five starts this term, with his other strike coming as a substitute, while Gabriel Jesus also has just one goal to his name.<\/p>\n

Toney is currently serving his eight-month suspension for breaches of The FA’s betting rules. He is back training with Brentford and can play again on January 16 of next year.<\/p>\n

Morgan believes a striker is a necessity for Arsenal. And he reckons Toney would be a perfect candidate for the role.<\/p>\n

He told talkSPORT: “I think that in January we have to go and get Ivan Toney or someone like him because we need a proper striker. Every Arsenal fan knows this and I think we\u2019ve been kidding ourselves for too long that we can exist without one and the truth is that we can\u2019t.”<\/p>\n

Arsenal spent over \u00a3210million on new signings in the summer. Kai Havertz has had a tough start to life at the Emirates following his \u00a365m move from London rivals Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Morgan joked Arsenal should sell the German in order to raise funds for a striker. He cannot understand why Gunners chiefs did not attempt to buy a forward with the money they spent on Havertz.<\/p>\n

He added: “We could sell Kai Havertz and get our \u00a370m back! People ask me what I would have done and what I\u2019d have done is gone to Napoli and given \u00a3150m for [Victor] Osimhen and everyone goes \u2018That\u2019s nuts\u2019, but we just spent nearly half of that on Havertz who looks like he isn\u2019t anywhere near the standard we need to win the league. The thinking, to me, is very small-time thinking.<\/p>\n

“We went and got Declan Rice, brilliant. We have some great players in that team like [William] Saliba was purring again yesterday, [Martin] Odegaard when he\u2019s on form is fantastic and we\u2019ve really missed [Gabriel] Martinelli.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve got a lot of great players, but if you don\u2019t have a proper striker then you\u2019re not going to win the league. I\u2019m sorry, because Arsenal fans may not want to hear this but it\u2019s the reality, but if we\u2019re serious we\u2019ve got to go out in January and get one.”<\/p>\n
