Fabregas's insight provides a nuanced perspective on Arsenal's transfer strategy, suggesting that while a new striker could be beneficial, it's crucial to consider the team's overall strength and balance. The comments add fuel to the ongoing discussions surrounding Arsenal's transfer plans for the upcoming season.
