Arsenal in Gyokeres talks
Arsenal are reportedly in talks to sign Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres, who has scored 27 goals in 25 games in all competitions so far this season.
Football Transfers report that Arteta is keen to sign a new goalscorer and Arsenal are in 'contact' with Gyokeres. It is claimed that Sporting have set an asking price of around €65 million for the 26-year-old.
The report also notes that Arsenal remain interested in RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, having tried to sign him last summer before ultimately deciding to sign a contract extension.
A £50 million deal agreed
According to Spanish newspaper Fichajes, Arsenal have reached an 'agreement in principle' to sign Alberto Moleiro from Las Palmas.
The report states that Arteta views Moleiro as a similar type of midfielder to captain Martin Odegaard and that Arsenal will pay his €60 million release clause next summer.
Moleiro has impressed for Las Palmas this season, scoring four goals in 17 games. It is claimed that an official announcement regarding Moleiro's future could be made 'in the coming months'.
Arsenal have insisted on a striker
Arsenal have been told to sign a new striker next month, with former Gunners winger Jermaine Pennant claiming they need a consistent goalscorer to win the league.
“A new number nine is a priority for Arsenal in the January transfer window,” Pennant told Casino Apps. “If you want to win or even compete for the league, you have to look at the other teams who have done that. They have a striker who scores 20 or 20 goals a season, Arsenal don't have that.
“Arsenal will struggle because they are too dependent on Bukayo Saka. If he doesn't score, you won't see the goals coming from anywhere else. Not Gabriel Martinelli, he plays in all positions, but his end product is not there.”
