Mikel Arteta is in a pivotal position as he seeks to guide Arsenal to the Premier League title this season. Despite the team's strong standings, Arteta has had to contend with a lack of a definitive first-choice striker, with multiple options underperforming. Ahead of a critical match against Brentford, notable figures are weighing in on how he can best optimize his attacking options.

Former Premier League striker Emile Heskey has recommended that Arteta should elevate Kai Havertz to the starting striker position for the remainder of the season. This suggestion comes amid inconsistency in the performances of other strikers, such as Viktor Gyokeres, who has recently managed to score but has been inconsistent since his arrival. Both Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have made comebacks from long-term injuries, adding to the mix of choices available to Arteta.

As Arsenal approaches their clash with Brentford, the team's attacking dynamic appears crucial to maintain their Premier League title challenge. With significant games ahead in the season, the decision around who leads the line could have far-reaching implications for Arsenal's aspirations. Arteta’s ability to effectively harness the talents of his roster will be under scrutiny as fans and analysts alike anticipate how these changes might play out on the pitch.
