It's obvious who Arsenal need to sign if they want to win the Premier League title - opinion
Today at 09:35 AM
Mikel Arteta has established Arsenal as genuine Premier League title contenders.
The North Londoners reside a point adrift of league leaders Liverpool and unquestionably have the strongest defence in the country.
However, there is one missing piece of the jigsaw and if they address it in January, they’d probably pip Manchester City and Liverpool to the title.
Arsenal should try to sign Jhon Duran
Arsenal are well stocked all over the pitch apart from in the number nine role and it does feel they lack a prolific forward.
Kai Havertz has started the season fantastically well but to win a title, a 20-goal a-season striker is needed.
So, The Gunners should make an approach to sign Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran this winter, as he has all the makings of a future world-class operator.
Duran has netted six times in nine outings so far this term, which is some going considering he’s only started one game.
Chelsea were close to signing Duran for £40m during the summer but ultimately, that move failed to materialise.
Jhon Duran statistics
Duran’s underlying FBref statistics make for very impressive reading.
The 2003-born ranks in the top one per cent for goals per 90 compared to his positional peers across Europe.
Further, he sits in the top one per cent for clearances and five per cent for tackles, amplifying his defensive work rate, too.
