Approaching the end of the season only season has started with all sorts of strikers names being thrown up, it would be interesting to know what the consensus is on who should be our main striker next season. I've picked the 3 that seem to be the most strongly rumoured.

Gyokeres just looks like the total package. Less of a risk too given the Portuguese League has history of players adapting well into the Premier League. That being said, bloke will likely have Arsenal in his sights given they are a settled side on the up and have Champions League Football. 

Osimhen by all accounts looks like the one more realistic given his close entourage state he wants to come here and we could use Lukaku as leverage. 

Sesko just avoid. That would mean Jackson as our #1 again. 

 
Ivan Toney depending on the price. An all action striker who is brilliant at holding the ball up and very good in the air.

Except he was good for only a tiny amount of time, do you think he might suddenly get better when he comes here...(like they always do 😊)

Have you checked his career record? But as I keep repeating, it's not just about goals for me.It's the way he plays that would be such a good fit us IMO. He would lead the line brilliantly and allow others to play off him. He is the hardest working centre forward in the EPL.

 
Would take Toney at around £45 million but I’d take Isak from Newcastle if we spend north of 60

 
I’d stick with Jackson as main striker with a very decent back up striker. Players like Osimhen, Gyokeres etc doesn’t seem realistic, they won’t be cheap and I can’t see how we can spend a fortune again after the past year.

Someone like Gerard Moreno or Fullkrug as a stop gap. Give us a year to compete for Europe and regain the finances to sign a top striker.

Serhou Guirassy only £15m and 27 goals all competitions. 25 in the Bundesliga.

I'm sure we can sap the confidence out of the lad and get him to single figures per season on no time.

All seriousness I've not seen the kid play, any good?

 
Maybe an answer that won’t get mentioned a lot but what about Cunha from Wolves?

Good all round player and I can’t see the fee being that high. Only 24 as well, doesn’t really stop Jacksons development.

I just don’t like the idea of us spending 100m on another player.

This is where our scouts need to earn their money. Bayer spent less than 50m on Boniface, Grimaldo, Xhaka and Frimpong and they are on route to completing the treble/going unbeaten.

Believe it or not, Cunha cost Wolves £44m, and would demand more than that to sell to us. I doubt he'd be a bargain.
