There is a very real possibility that Arsenal could miss out on the Premier League title by the number of goals scored come the end of the season.
The Gunners lead the table by three points from Manchester City, although Pep Guardiola's side do have a game in hand on their rivals.
Arsenal do play again before Man City play next, meaning they can go six points clear, albeit having played two games more. but if City win their two games in hand by that stage - even by one goal each time - they would go back to the top of the table by virtue of more goals scored.
It is that close in the title race.
There Could Be Big Changes In Arsenal's Forward Line
Arsenal's Kai Havertz
Even if Arsenal do go on and claim the crown, they will look to bolster their squad in the summer transfer window and they will likely look at attacking reinforcements.
Kai Havertz's season has been beset by injuries, as has Gabriel Jesus' with the Brazilian a potential summer departure from the club. Viktor Gyokeres took a while to settle into life in the Premier League, but does have 12 league goals to his name, with 18 in total across all competitions.
One player who has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium for some time is Julian Alvarez. The 26-year-old left Manchester City in 2024 to sign for Atletico Madrid, and will face the Gunners in the Champions League semi-final first leg on Wednesday night.
Atleti boss Diego Simeone confirmed Arsenal's interest in his press conference ahead of the game, saying: "It's normal that an extraordinary player like Julian Alvarez is wanted by Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona. It's normal because he's very good."
Widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, Alvarez has plenty of suitors and GIVEMESPORT's senior football correspondent Ben Jacobs has revealed that Arsenal have made "formative plans" to complete a deal this summer.
He said: "Arsenal really like Julian Alvarez. It's a difficult deal, but Andrea Berta has been formatively exploring it, and a bit like when Arsenal liked Rodrygo, he's kind of a dream target, but we'll wait and see whether anything develops.
Barcelona Provide Competition To Arsenal Transfer Plans

"Arsenal will definitely be in the market though for a left winger and a more versatile attacker as well, and there will be departures obviously that influence how they go about their business in the market, but the challenge, according to my information on Julian Alvarez, is not just the finances, and make no mistake, Atleti will fight to keep him, but Barcelona are increasingly active on the Julian Alvarez front and my information is Julian Alvarez is tempted by Barcelona.
"Arsenal are there, they've certainly made some formative inquiries dating all the way back to January, but don't rule out the third option in all of this, which is not Barcelona or a Premier League move, but Atleti actually in the end being able to persuade Alvarez to stay as well, and all three of those options are currently on the table."
Simeone is not the only person to describe Alvarez as extraordinary, with Argentina captain Lionel Messi doing similarly in the 2022 World Cup semi-final, with Alvarez playing an "extraordinary game" to get the nation to the final.
