According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal want to strengthen their attacking line in January. A deal to sign a striker and midfielder is seen as viable, but not until the summer, while in January the club are keen to secure a striker, particularly following Bukayo Saka’s hamstring surgery.
According to the report, Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao, Leroy Sané of Bayern Munich, Arda Guler of Real Madrid and Florian Wirtz of Bayer Leverkusen are interested, although all four present their own difficulties, with rival interest and the potential difficulty to extract them from their clubs in January in the lead. They are also interested in Isak, Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, Matheus Cunha from Wolves and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford as potential new number 9s.
The king’s choice for the Gunners
Arsenal are currently third in the Premier League table, but are nine points behind leaders Liverpool, reinforcing the need for them to invest in January.
Arsenal face Brentford on January 1 and try to close the gap on the Reds. A victory would allow them to overtake Nottingham Forest, the surprising English club, to take second place.
