Many Arsenal fans will want to retain a sense of optimism as the 2024/25 Premier League season draws to a close.
However, even the most ardent of them will know that the weekend’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United has severely dented and likely ended their hopes of lifting the top-flight trophy for another campaign.
It was a result that left them 15 points behind leaders Liverpool and now looking over their shoulders at the chasing pack, with Nottingham Forest four points behind them and Chelsea only a further two back.
Once again, the biggest blow to those title aspirations has been their inability to sign a proven striker.
They are constantly linked with players who could fit that role but never seem to prioritise that position once the transfer window does open.
As a result, they have been left with only Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz as their striker options at this moment, and both are currently on the sidelines.
Whilst manager Mikel Arteta has, to his credit, tried to find a solution, using first Leandro Trossard and then Mikel Merino as the target player and then alternating Declan Rice and Merino in an advanced role at Old Trafford, none of those has had the desired effect.
Arsenal have dropped points in each of their last three league matches, and there is now increased pressure and expectation that the club will target a new goalscorer when the summer transfer window opens.
Fans are anxious to avoid being in this situation again.
With that in mind, it perhaps comes as no surprise that they have been linked with a host of potential targets, each of whom would bring different things to their play.
David Astill’s data analysis and recruitment analysis will sift through some of them and examine which would be the best option, breaking down each player’s key statistics and stating how they could fit into Arteta’s tactics.
This tactical training analysis will reveal how to coach a counter-attacking philosophy in a training session.
It will also include the principles of transitioning from defence to attack and drills to teach your players how to act in different scenarios.
