Arsenal Transfer News: Barcelona Eyes Arsenal Star Amid Injury Crisis

Arsenal is grappling with squad depth issues, falling nine points behind league leaders Liverpool, and fans are urging reinforcements to boost their title challenge.

The long-term injury to Bukayo Saka, sidelined until March with a torn hamstring, has intensified the need for quality additions. Mikel Arteta’s side also faces issues in defense with injuries to Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu, as well as the absence of a dependable center-forward.

Mohammed Kudus as a Saka Replacement
Arsenal has been linked with West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, who could fill Saka’s void. The Gunners were considering a £90 million move for the Ghanaian winger last month amid rumors of Leandro Trossard’s potential departure to the Saudi Pro League.

Former Arsenal player Adrian Clarke called Kudus a “perfect” replacement for Saka, highlighting his ability to excel both on the wing and upfront. Kudus has contributed three goals and one assist for the Hammers in the Premier League but has faced challenges due to his team’s struggles.

Barcelona Targets Thomas Partey
Barcelona is reportedly monitoring Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey, whose contract expires next summer. Partey, a £45 million signing from Atletico Madrid, has made 140 appearances for the Gunners.

According to reports, Barcelona views Partey as a potential replacement for Frenkie de Jong. Club director Deco reportedly admires Partey’s physical presence and versatility, while the prospect of signing him for free aligns with Barcelona’s financial constraints.

Arsenal Pursues Wolves’ Matheus Cunha
Arsenal remains interested in Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, who has scored 10 Premier League goals this season. Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen Arsenal’s attacking options in January, and Cunha has expressed admiration for former Arsenal star Lukas Podolski, whom he considers a football inspiration.

As January approaches, Arsenal’s transfer activity will be pivotal in their pursuit of closing the gap to Liverpool and addressing their squad weaknesses.
