Arsenal have one of the best squads in the world right now.

The Gunners have at least two top-class players in every position, and in some areas of the pitch, there are three or more.

One such position is striker, where Arsenal have Viktor Gyokeres as their main man, with Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz also available.

Myles Lewis-Skelly is beyond impressed with that depth.

Is Gyokeres now Arsenal's fourth choice striker?

Myles Lewis-Skelly says Arsenal’s strikers are ‘frightening’

Many people feel that the weakest area of Arsenal’s team is up front.

The Gunners have the best defence in the Premier League, while an argument can be made that their midfield is better than that of any other club as well.

What has let them down at times is their attack, and people have pointed their finger at the player leading the line, which has often been Gyokeres this season.

However, despite all the noise on the outside, people within the club are fully backing their strikers – just ask Lewis-Skelly.

Speaking in the mixed zone after Arsenal’s win over Inter Milan at the San Siro, the teenager said, as per HaytersTV: “It’s frightening for me to see like all the options we have up top.

“So, yeah, that’s another strength of ours, our depth.

“And that’s something that, you know, every player’s happy to play, every player’s happy to support, and that’s why such a good bunch.”

Mikel Arteta has a big striker decision to make for Arsenal vs Manchester United

Arsenal take on Manchester United in the Premier League next, and Arteta has a decision to make at the top end of the pitch.

The Gunners boss deployed Jesus up front against Inter Milan, and the Brazilian repaid the faith by scoring a brace in the first half.

Gyokeres then came on and scored a stunner himself, thus staking his claim to start against Manchester United on Sunday.

Arteta now has to pick one of the two for the clash at the Emirates, and it is not an easy decision by any means.

If it were up to us, we would go with Jesus – he has definitely earned it following his performance at the San Siro.
