Arsenal remain in contention for the Premier League title despite a setback last weekend.
The Gunners are just five points behind Liverpool after last weekend's draw against Everton. But it appears to have been a missed opportunity for the Gunners after the Reds' draw against Fulham at Anfield.
One thing that could narrow the gap in the coming months is more signings. Mikel Arteta's side have been linked with a host of names, including Viktor Gyokeres.
But some Gunners could potentially leave in January. Check out the latest news and rumors from North London.
Despite links with Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal have been told to forget about him. Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney has claimed he is NOT the man to fire the Gunners to the title.
On talkSPORT he said: “You know if you say something the clip will come back in six months. I really think he's a good footballer, he works really hard, all that.
“But I don't think he's a natural finisher. And again, everyone is going to improve his goalscoring record, I understand that. But I don't think he'll get either of those.” [Arsenal and Liverpool] to win the Premier League. That's just my opinion, and if he did, they would have bought him already.”
One man who has already completed a move to Arsenal is Raheem Sterling. But the on-loan Chelsea man has found limited options at the Emirates Stadium.
And Arteta has explained why he has been sidelined. He said: “There have been moments. It has also been difficult and very difficult for me to accept that I have not given him more. If he has not started the games, 90 percent of the subs I make have to do with with minutes to spare or due to injuries or injury avoidance.
“It's not tactical reasons. I would like him to play a lot more because I think he can influence the team in a very good way. He is very good in the dressing room and is absolutely desperate to play. He had a very important role, which had an impact on the players.” every match, and suddenly you're in this position for a while.
“Not only here, but also at Chelsea. So it is always very difficult and I feel a lot of sympathy for players when they are in this moment. Hopefully we can change that.”
Arsenal have lost the chance to sign wonderkid Vladyslav Krapivtsov after sealing a move to Spain. The 19-year-old had previously trained with the Gunners and Premier League rivals Chelsea earlier this season.
He was available on a free transfer after leaving Dnipro-1. But post-Brexit guidelines prevented the Gunners from making a move for his services.
As a result, Krapivtsov has now moved on after signing a contract with Spanish side Girona. He has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract until mid-2029.
