Arsene Wenger is confident Arsenal have more than enough firepower having ruled out making a move in the transfer market.
Last season's top goalscorer Emmanuel Adebayor has been the subject of interest from AC Milan but now looks likely to stay at Emirates Stadium for another season at least.
When taking this into account, in addition to the return from injury of Robin van Persie, Wenger is confident a title challenge can be mounted on the back of their collective powers.
And with Nicklas Bendtner, Carlos Vela and Theo Walcott all having enjoyed impressive pre-seasons, Arsenal's French tactician is predicting bright times ahead.
"We are not as short of strikers as people thought," he told the club's official website.
"We have Vela, who has integrated well into the team, and Bendtner was a force at the end of last season. He will confirm that again this year.
"In all the areas in total we are perhaps one player short. But up front we don't need anyone."
