I reckon
1 x £30m striker
1 x £30m DM
1 x £10m back up RB
Saliba & Balogun in the first team squad.
Total = £70m
That's it.

So we'd only have one average striker and Balogun upfront all season?

Why average?
How much did Salah cost? £34m?
I am skeptical of strikers with a lot of hype around them. Lukaku was £95m and has scored 5 PL goals this season.
The best scouts and directors of football FIND the next £100m striker, they don't pay that.
Dortmund bought Haaland for £18m 2 years ago and he scored 40 in hist first 46 matches (first season and a half)
He's carried on this year and now has 56 league goals in his first 60 games.
Patrick Schick was bought last season by Leverkusen for £24m
He's scored 27 in his first 46 games.
We were linked with Osimhen - only 2 years ago Lille bought him for £23m
I could go on.
As for Balogun, he needs to develop of course, but he can.
As a front line, with Balogun coming back + 1 we would have many many options.

I agree that money doesn't always mean you get a perfect striker. It's more about systems and player type that makes them shine. Can't help but think there is very little about of what we need though. Clubs know we are desperate in the summer, so anyone with what we need will be playing hard ball.
We need more than 2x strikers to play out a full season though. We would need 2x experienced or proven pros, with Balogun as 3rd choice I think.

Artetaball really doesn't lend itself to a 25 goal per season striker. His tactics rely more on wingers and CAM for goals. Maybe we would be better just getting in a strong link up player and not expect loads of gaols from them.
Ivan Toney is still on my wish list. The way he plays looks to suit Arteta perfectly to me. Would like to see that lanky Italian bloke (Scamacca) to come in with him though, just to mix the options up.

Arsenal are ready to embark on the biggest summer spending spree in their history by targeting Real Sociedad's Alexander Isak, Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Wolves' Ruben Neves, reports the Sun.
Gunners owner Stan Kroenke is willing to back boss Mikel Arteta and has budgeted around £180 million ($244m) for the trio.
However, those deals are dependent on Arsenal securing a place in the Champions League next season.
