While many top European teams are still looking for a world-class striker to spearhead their attack, Arsenal are going against that trend.

Flexible, varied and effective gameplay

One of the main reasons why Arsenal don’t need a pure centre-forward is because the team is building a flexible and varied attacking style. Instead of relying on a fixed fulcrum in attack, Arsenal prioritize constant movement, positional interchange and the ability to combine well with each other.

The lack of a permanent striker makes it difficult for the opposing defense to predict and make accurate judgments. Arsenal's strikers are constantly on the move, creating unexpected gaps and putting pressure on the opposing defense from many directions.

High adaptability of players

Arsenal’s attacking players like Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard are all highly adaptable. They can play well in many positions on the attack, from the left wing, right wing to the false striker position. This gives coach Arteta many tactical options and can easily change the playing style during the match.

Not being tied to a fixed position helps these players maximize their abilities and create many surprises for the opponent.

Pressure on the opposing defense

With their high pressing style of play, Arsenal always put a lot of pressure on the opposing defense. The lack of a permanent striker makes it difficult for the opposing defense to reorganize and create dangerous gaps for Arsenal.

Arsenal's forwards were constantly on the move, putting pressure on the opposition defence and winning the ball in their own half. This allowed Arsenal to control the game and create many scoring opportunities.

Arsenal’s move away from a pure centre-forward also reflects a growing trend in modern football, with more and more teams turning to versatile players who can play in a variety of positions on the pitch.

This style of play not only makes the team harder to predict, but also helps the players develop more comprehensively.
