Should I buy a striker. Arsenal have created a new striker.

England's HITC said on the 9th (Korea time) 'Michel Merino has done something that no Arsenal player has done in the last nine seasons. Arsenal could change their plans for the transfer window, it reported.

Before the game, not many fans predicted that Arsenal could beat Real's offensive, with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham starting, but Arsenal scored twice with a fantastic free-kick from Declan Rice and Merino scored a net to break Real.

Along with Arsenal's victory, Merino's performance also received great attention. Along with one goal in the game, Merino recorded three effective shots, a 60% success rate for ball competition, and one key pass.

Arsenal fans have also combined Merino's photo with Ronaldo, and have praised him. HITC also 'Merino is playing various positions due to a squad injury and has recently scored six goals as a temporary striker. Merino won a whopping 15 contests against Everton last time out. This is the most number recorded by Arsenal players in the last nine seasons. Merino's performance against Real is the result of recent games.

Merino, who moved to Arsenal this season, is known as a technical midfielder who played in Spain's La Liga and Spain's national team. This season, Arsenal also recruited Merino to reinforce their midfield. However, Merino did not completely melt into Arsenal's midfield and was criticized until the middle of the season. In the second half of the year, he gained stability little by little, but his performance did not show as well as expected.

However, the unexpected opportunity was a blessing in disguise for Merino and Arsenal. With Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz out for the season together, Arsenal lacked resources in the attack. Coach Mikel Arteta's alternative choice was Merino. He used central midfielder Merino as the front-line striker. Merino, who started as a front-line striker against Leicester City in February, has scored as many as six goals in the last 10 games, accumulating a stat close to a striker.

With Merino's performance, Arsenal eased their concerns about the striker in the second half, but the recruitment is expected to take place. Recently, British media announced that they are engaged in recruiting a new striker, saying that Arsenal are in negotiations to recruit Victor Jockeres.
