Arsenal has a rare weekend free after their collision with Nottingham Forest.
As the FA Cup campaign starts, the side of Mikel Arteta has the chance to regroup and a longer period to prepare for their Champions League meeting with PSV Eindhoven. It will also yield some time for reflection, because they want to build a momentum for the last part of the season.
The attention is already aimed at the transfer window and after a lack of signing sessions in January the pressure seems to be for the summer. An attacker is still required, but the North Londers may have to expand their stall with a busy few months.
Mirror Football takes a look at the latest news and the rumors around the Emirates.
Osimhen drops the transfer hint
Arsenal will be on the market to sign another striker when the summer transfer window is opened, but perhaps it has been more difficult. The Gunners were linked to Victor Osimhen last summer, before the Nigeria went ahead from Napoli to Galasaray on loan.
The future of Osimhen will have to be resolved in the coming months, but the 26-year-old has explicitly discussed his time in Turkey. However, the Sharpshooter remained free to make a decision.
“To be honest, I don't know,” said Osimhen. “You know that in recent months I never thought I would come here, I never believed that I would come to Galatasaray, despite how big they are.
“I am living for the time being. I don't know what will happen in the summer, but I want everyone to understand that I really love this club.
Arsenal to make contact with transfer
Arsenal will make contact with the entourage of Maxim de Cuyper this summer this summer. The Gunners would like the Bruges defender of the club, by reports, and will face the competition of West Ham and AC Milan.
The latter have already had a member of the management with the representatives of the full-back, but Arsenal is expected to have their own communication with the player's entourage later this week.
Club Brugge would want a reimbursement of € 25 million for the service of the Cuyper. The Belgian has one goal and six assists so far this season.
Wright's Warning
Ian Wright has warned Arsenal that if they do not act in the summer transfer window to earn silverware, they run the risk of losing their stars. The former Gunners Forward believes that the North London side will soon be in a precarious position if they do not act as Real Madrid Circle for William Saliba.
“Let's wait and see who they get in the summer,” he said on Wrighty's house podcast “let's wait. I know the manager is signed again, but let's wait, because if they don't get the kind of players that will take us to the next step, and there are people like, look at Saliba. Real Madrid takes him tomorrow.
“Why wouldn't he wait and see what is going on in the summer to see the kind of players and the caliber of the player we sign? Because this is what I think people should be needed to be careful. “
