Arsenal are urgently searching for a new striker following Gabriel Jesus’ injury, which has left the team struggling in attack. The Brazilian forward is expected to miss a significant portion of the season due to a serious knee injury.
Despite their challenges, Arsenal managed to secure a dramatic North London derby win on Wednesday. Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke scored an own goal to cancel out Heung-Min Son’s opener, and Leandro Trossard sealed the victory with a crucial goal. As transfer speculation continues to swirl, here’s the latest news from the Emirates:
Arteta Eyes Gyokeres
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly approved a move for Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish forward is viewed as an ideal addition, and the Gunners are now willing to activate his €100 million (£83 million) release clause, according to L’Équipe.
Gyokeres isn’t the only player on Arsenal’s radar. Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and Lille’s Jonathan David are also being considered as potential January signings.
Benzema in the Picture
Former Real Madrid star Karim Benzema has been urged to join Arsenal on a short-term deal. Pundit Rio Ferdinand suggested the Gunners offer the 37-year-old a six-month loan to bolster their attack. Despite his age, Benzema remains active, with 18 months left on his contract at Al-Ittihad, and has no immediate plans to retire.
Brentford Block Mbeumo Move
Arsenal have also been linked with Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, who has been in excellent form this season with 13 goals in 21 Premier League appearances. However, Brentford manager Thomas Frank dismissed the possibility of a sale, stating firmly, “No. Very easy to answer that question!”
