With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s uncertain future with the club the team could use another striker along with Alexander Isak. I would love to see the club sign Pietro Pellegri from Genoa in Italy.

Although both Isak and Pellegri are very young, they are both long term investments with plenty of players that could fit the striker role until both of them come of age.

Pellegri is a very talented player and has the potential to be a world class striker. He became the joint youngest player to appear in the Seria A when he made his debut aged 15, just over an year ago. He has appeared a total of nine times for Genoa, scoring three goals.

If the club can convince Aubameyang to stick around for another couple of years, Isak and Pellegri should both be ready to replace him after that.
