Transfer News

  Manchester City are plotting a sensational move to sign Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka. Saka has quickly become one of the brightest young talents in world football. After proving his worth for Arsenal, the England international has started to produce on the world stage and has almost become undroppable for his country. Saka is a key reason Arsenal currently sit pretty at the top of the Premier League – all of this at the age of just 21 years old. Despite performing at an elite level right now, Saka is yet to reach his full potential, so it’s scary to think how he could be performing in a few year’s time. Now, this is something Manchester City are looking to take advantage of, with 90min reporting that Pep Guardiola’s transfer plans include bringing Saka to the Etihad. It would certainly be a sensational move from Manchester City if they pull it off. With Riyad Mahrez ageing, Saka could be the ideal replacement, but convincing Arsenal to part ways with Saka won’t be easy. T...

 Former Arsenal defender Johan Djourou has urged Mikel Arteta to return to Manchester City again and find a suitable replacement for injured striker Gabriel Jesus. The Brazil international underwent knee surgery after he picked up an injury at the World Cup earlier this month and is expected to be ruled out for up to three months. Eddie Nketiah is the only available option, the reason why Mikel Arteta and Edu must act fast to make a good signing that will help keep their season alive. So far, the Gunners have identified Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk as their No.1 target but Djourou believes they should consider a move for Barcelona forward Ferran Torres. He told talkSPORT: ‘A player like Ferran Torres at Barcelona? That could be interesting. ‘But I don’t feel that Ferran has shown enough in the Premier League, or at Barcelona either.’ On the absence of Jesus, he added: ‘Mikel Arteta knows better [then me] what he needs and what he can do with the resources they have, but ...

  Arsenal legend Ray Parlour believes the Gunners should consider making a move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat. The 26-year-old was a key player for Morocco at the World Cup as they managed to reach the semi-final stage of the competition and Parlour claims he would strengthen Mikel Arteta’s options in midfield: “What I’ve seen of him at this tournament, he’s not phased by big games – which it is for your country. He is so comfortable. He’s always on the half turn and always looking to probe and try and get balls in behind the full-backs… I tell you he’s a player. If I was Arsenal, I’d be looking at him. Central midfield, he can get his foot in. Very good player.” Amrabat hasn’t been linked with Arsenal but other Premier League teams, including Liverpool and Tottenham, have been mentioned as potential suitors ahead of the January transfer window. Adding more depth in the middle of the park is something that the Gunners have been considering. Their interest in Palmeiras’ D...

  Arsenal remain interested in signing Wolves forward Pedro Neto as Mikel Arteta looks for attacking reinforcements in January.  With Gabriel Jesus ruled out with an injury sustained at the World Cup with Brazil, Arsenal may look to target attacking reinforcements during the January transfer window. With Gabriel Martinelli capable of playing in a more central role, Arsenal could target a versatile forward, and they still remain interested in Wolves forward Neto, who has played out wide as well as through the middle in his career. Pedro Neto in action for Wolves. That’s according to The Express, who have confirmed Arsenal’s eagerness to bring in an attacking player due to Jesus’ injury. Neto himself has struggled with injuries during his time at Wolves, but he’s certainly proved his capabilities in patches in the Premier League. Neto isn’t the most prolific player in front of goal, but that’s a wider issue for Wolves who have struggled to perform in attack after Raul Jimin...

  Manchester United and Arsenal have received a boost in their pursuit of PSV star Cody Gakpo, with Fabrizio Romano revealing an update on Liverpool's role in the chase. United, in particular, have been heavily linked with completing a deal for Gakpo, who has previously confirmed he held talks with Erik ten Hag in the summer. PSV chief executive Marcel Brands hinted earlier this week that 'maybe 10 to 12 clubs' would be able to afford Gakpo, with Romano previously claiming that a fee of £43 million would be enough to convince the Dutch club to sell. The Arsenal links are less concrete. The Athletic's David Ornstein has said that Shakhtar Donetsk's Mykhaylo Mudryk is the Gunners' priority signing in January, although it appears the club are lining up alternatives if that deal cannot be completed. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has confirmed that the Gunners will be 'active' in the transfer window. And Gakpo, who scored in all three of Netherlands' group ga...

  According to multiple reports, Arsenal are ahead of the pack as a host of clubs battle for the signature of Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix. Arsenal have been reported to be one of five teams interested in signing João Felix from Atlético de Madrid in the January transfer window. The 23-year-old Portugal international joined Los Rojiblancos in 2019 for a club record fee but despite all the promise he has shown, he has never been able to seal a spot in Diego Simeone’s side. Three-and-a-half seasons later, the Madrid side are ready to cut their losses and part ways with the former Benfica youngster and have put him on the market. THE LATEST: ARSENAL LEADING THE WAY Arsenal have held an interest in the player and almost signed him in the summer. However, Manchester City put Gabriel Jesus on the market and Mikel Arteta, who worked with the Brazilian at City before taking up the manager role at Arsenal, went for the former Palmeiras prospect instead. Jesus is now injured and...

  Mikel Arteta has spoken out about Arsenal defender Ben White after he left the England World Cup squad. White left the England World Cup squad after just a couple of games, flying home and leaving his teammates out in Qatar. Now, Arteta has spoken out about White’s departure from England and has claimed that the media know the reasons why he left the squad. A report from the Daily Star claimed that White had a bust-up with England coach Steve Holland, so maybe Arteta is confirming that the reports are true. Arteta on Ben White: 🗣 | "You know the reasons why he had to leave the camp and we are delighted to have him back." pic.twitter.com/Xijm8w2I69 — AK Arsenal (@akarsenalnews) December 14, 2022
