Journalist Miguel Delaney has revealed the two players Arsenal are seriously targeting as they look to strengthen their squad before the January transfer window closes.
The Gunners are actively searching for attacking reinforcements following a hamstring injury to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus’ season-ending ACL injury. While Arsenal have been linked with several forwards this month, their only formal bid so far has been for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, which was rejected. Villa, who recently sanctioned Jhon Duran’s move to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, remain unwilling to part with their star forward.
Manager Mikel Arteta has openly expressed the club’s need for reinforcements, particularly with Arsenal now six points behind league leaders Liverpool, who also have a game in hand. The Gunners face Manchester City in a crucial Premier League clash on Sunday, and failure to strengthen the squad could further intensify pressure if Liverpool go on to claim the title.
