Atalanta chose to keep the lead after previously, unexpectedly, winning 3-0 at…

Chelsea are aiming for a striker to add depth to their front line, while Arsenal are looking for a reliable goal scorer.

While the Gunners, although their performance is fine without a striker, still need a target man who can score goals because Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus…
