Arsenal ‘monitoring’ former Liverpool star as shock free agent transfer chance emerges
Latest Arsenal transfer news with Roberto Firmino emerging as an option for Mikel Arteta’s striker crisis
Roberto Firmino could be the unlikely solution to Arsenal’s striker crisis
Arsenal could have found an unlikely solution to their injury woes in the form of an ex-Liverpool star. Mikel Arteta has four senior attackers currently unavailable with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli recently joining Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus on the Gunners’ list of absentees.
Leandro Trossard, Ethan Nwaneri and Raheem Sterling were subsequently deployed as the front three against Leicester City at King Power Stadium. With Arsenal rather toothless in the first 70 minutes, Arteta threw on Mikel Merino to play up front with that decision paying off as he scored twice in the final stages.
