Gabriel Jesus’ ACL injury has left Arsenal in dire need of attacking reinforcements, with Ally McCoist advocating for Tammy Abraham as a prime target.
Jesus sustained the injury during Arsenal’s FA Cup clash with Manchester United, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
The setback compounds Arsenal’s problems, as Bukayo Saka is also unavailable until late March due to injury.
Mikel Arteta’s side now faces an urgent need to strengthen their attack, and McCoist believes Abraham, currently on loan at AC Milan from Roma, could be the answer.
McCoist highlighted the inflated market dynamics Arsenal might face: “Clubs know Arsenal are desperate. Prices will skyrocket, but they’ve only themselves to blame for delaying this move. Tammy Abraham could be a great fit. Arsenal create plenty of chances, and a player like him could score 20-25 goals a season.”
Abraham, an England international, has netted six times in 22 appearances for Milan this season. His physical presence and finishing ability make him a compelling option for the Gunners, who have struggled to convert their attacking opportunities into goals consistently.
Arteta has acknowledged the team’s need for reinforcements, emphasizing that the search for a striker was already underway before Jesus’ injury.
“We’re actively looking to improve the squad,” Arteta stated in a press conference. “It would be naive not to explore opportunities, especially under these circumstances.”
Whether Arsenal can secure Abraham or another forward remains to be seen, but with their title hopes on the line, the urgency for a resolution has never been higher.
