Kevin Campbell has picked out three alternatives to Eddie Nketiah as the young forward “is not the answer” for Arsenal.
The Gunners will be in the market for at least one new striker this summer. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang departed to join FC Barcelona back in February.
This left them with Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette as their only natural options to lead the line. Both forwards are out of contract this summer.
