Arsenal pushing for major signing before Deadline Day
Arsenal are in a race against time to secure a marquee signing before the transfer window slams shut. With only a short time left in the January window, the club is working hard to strengthen their squad.
According to GiveMeSport, two strikers are high on Arsenal’s wishlist.
Arteta in need of attacking reinforcements
Mikel Arteta is in desperate need of attacking options, with Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka sidelined due to injuries. Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling has struggled to make an impact.
Earlier this week, The Gunners had a bid rejected for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins. The Villans are unwilling to part ways with the England international, especially after selling Jhon Duran to Saudi Arabia.
