After signing goalkeeper David Raya to a permanent deal and completing the acquisition of defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna, Petit says Arsenal now needs to focus on bolstering the attack.

"Signing a striker should be Arsenal’s number one priority in the transfer window," Petit told Gambling Zone. "They need someone that is good in the air and can also be physically imposing.

"It’s good to have different options, and with Arsenal, you know how they will play on the attack, and it can be too predictable. We’ve seen them struggle to break down teams that play with a lot of men behind the ball. Arsenal need a plan b.

"The need a striker with a presence in the penalty area, someone that can keep two defenders with him, someone that is strong physically and strong in the air because they don't score many goals from headers.

"With the amount of balls they put into the box, they need to find someone to score headers. That is one part of the attack that must improve. There are a few players who tick all these boxes on the market."

As for who Petit think the North London side should pursue, there's one man who stands above the rest.

"I’m a huge fan of Ollie Watkins," he said. "I love him!

"He's strong physically. He has the pace to run in behind defenders. He's able to fight with two defenders all the time and can hold up the ball.

"I think he would be perfect for the football that Arsenal play. He has the ability to play one-on-one combinations and I think he would fit like a glove into an Arsenal team and system."
