Arsenal need Toney
Arsenal continued their unbeaten streak in the Premier League, although they dropped points against Fulham and Tottenham when they made costly mistakes.
Wright, an Arsenal legend, argued that even if current striker choices Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus have many positive qualities, the absence of a top-notch goal-scoring forward may prevent them from winning the championship.

FOOTBALL Bukayo Saka sets sight on swift return from injury ahead of Chelsea clash
Bukayo Saka's determined recovery from injury aims to spark Arsenal's revival as they prepare for a crucial clash with Chelsea.
Ian Wright told The Overlap, as reported by Daily Mail, “We spread goals out last season and it took us to a certain place.
“I think with Toney the links won't go away as it's blatantly obvious to see, that focal point, that player who scores, that takes you somewhere else.
“You can't question the endeavour of Eddie (Nketiah) or (Gabriel) Jesus but you look back at the Tottenham game with the Jesus chance. For a player of that calibre to be in that position 1-0 up, those chances have to be buried.
“The margins are so small now you can't afford to be missing chances like that and not winning games. The work off the ball is fantastic for both players.
“The Toney links don't go away because for me that is the last piece of the jigsaw. He'll do it if it can be done.”
Meanwhile, Ivan Toney has been linked with a move to Arsenal in January. He is expected to resume playing from January 16 onward following his eight-month suspension from football after admitting to 232 betting offences.
