REPORT Saudi Arabia clubs are set to hand Arsenal a ‘crazy huge bid’ after a whopping ‘extraordinary’ sum of over $100M was offered to Arsenal in exchange for 25-years old Mikel Arteta’s weapon ahead of January summer transfer
As we look ahead to January, Arsenal fans are excited about the possibility of new players joining the team. At the same time, there are also talks about some players possibly leaving.
Emile Smith Rowe, who could be very important in tomorrow’s game, has been linked with a move away many times in January. Aaron Ramsdale, who lost his starting spot under Arteta, has also caught the attention of other teams.
A new article from The Athletic shows that Saudi Pro League clubs are still interested in Gabriel Magalhaes of Arsenal. This possible exit could cause problems for Arsenal. Fans can rest easy knowing that any move would need a “extraordinary” offer, probably more than £100m, because Magalhaes is so important to Arsenal’s title hopes.
Even though everyone is talking about players who might be leaving, Arsenal is also looking into ways to make their defence stronger. They are very interested in a defender who is often compared to Virgil van Dijk. A loan move for an available target in January, on the other hand, might be a better choice, since clubs don’t like to let go of their best players in the middle of the season.
For Arteta and Edu Gaspar, January business is all about finding the right mix. It’s important to make the team stronger, but it’s also important not to throw off the carefully designed balance. Good news is that the team is ready to welcome back important players like Takehiro Tomiyasu and Thomas Partey when they finish their foreign duties in January.
Arsenal will have to make strategic choices during the next transfer window to make sure the team stays strong and competitive without losing its unity.
