Arsenal legend urges club to bring in African duo Omar Marmoush and Ademola Lookman to solve scoring woes

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has urged the club to invest in two high-quality attacking players to enhance their performance in the second half of the 2024/25 season.

On the latest episode of the Wrighty’s House podcast, he recommended targeting Egypt’s Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt and Ademola Lookman of Nigeria from Atalanta.

He emphasized the need for Arsenal to strengthen their attacking options, especially after a lackluster 0-0 draw against Everton, which highlighted the team’s struggles to convert chances.

“You know what? There’re two players I’d probably go for here. But like, we obviously have to go for one. And I’d like people to have a look at Omar Marmoush, Eintracht Frankfurt.

“You know him, right? You know him very well. And you know, from Eintracht Frankfurt, and you know, Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, bro.

“If you’re going, if I’m going now, and you have to get something, if you go hard, bam, I’m going hard on them two. Go and look at Omar Marmoush, Eintracht Frankfurt, what he’s doing.”

Marmoush has been impressive this season, netting 18 goals and providing 12 assists in 23 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt.

Meanwhile, Lookman has contributed 11 goals and five assists in 19 matches for Atalanta.
