Arsenal are on the lookout for a new striker following Gabriel Jesus's injury, and it seems they have set their sights on an unexpected target. According to The Sun, the Gunners are interested in signing Brentford forward Yoane Wissa.

With Gabriel Jesus sidelined for several months due to a serious knee injury, Arsenal are in need of attacking reinforcements. The North London club have been linked with a number of strikers in recent weeks, but it appears that Wissa has emerged as a serious contender.

A Surprise Target

The 28-year-old Congolese international has been in impressive form for Brentford this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 2 assists in 22 appearances. His performances have caught the eye of Arsenal scouts, who believe he could be the ideal candidate to fill the void left by Jesus.

Wissa's physicality, pace, and ability to finish with both feet make him a valuable asset to any team. He has also shown a knack for creating chances for his teammates, making him a versatile forward who could fit seamlessly into Mikel Arteta's system.

Why Wissa?

  • Proven Premier League experience: Wissa has been a regular in the Premier League since joining Brentford in 2021 and has proven himself capable of performing at the highest level.
  • Versatility: The Congolese forward can play as a central striker or out wide, giving Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta more tactical options.
  • Affordable: Compared to some of the other strikers linked with Arsenal, Wissa is likely to be a more affordable option.

Arsenal's Need for a Striker

The injury to Gabriel Jesus has left Arsenal with a significant gap in their squad. While Eddie Nketiah has filled in admirably, Arteta will be keen to add another striker to his squad to provide competition for places and ensure that his team has the depth needed to challenge for trophies.

Wissa would be a shrewd signing for Arsenal, and he could prove to be a valuable asset for the club in the years to come. However, it remains to be seen whether the Gunners will be able to reach an agreement with Brentford for the player.
