Arsenal is expected to have a busy transfer deadline day as Manager Mikel Arteta looks to complete his squad by adding a midfielder.
This month, Arteta has already added two new players to the team, including Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiowir, but is determined to add a third.
Moises Caicedo has been a priority target for Arsenal, but the club’s interest could be thwarted by Chelsea, who is also monitoring the situation.
The Gunners have submitted two bids for the 21-year-old Ecuadorian, but haven’t submitted an improved bid since the second offer was rejected.
Chelsea is expected to complete a transfer for Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez, and could potentially make a move for Caicedo, who was previously coached by Graham Potter at the Amex Stadium. This could prompt Arsenal to submit a third and final bid for the player.
Jorginho is another player that Arsenal is keeping an eye on as the deadline approaches. However, the team missed out on signing Mykhaylo Mudryk, who was snatched by Chelsea.
Despite these setbacks, Arteta remains determined to complete his winter reinforcements by acquiring a midfielder. The transfer window will close at 11pm, marking the end of the January transfer period.
Arsenal’s transfer activity this month started with the signing of Leandro Trossard for a fee of £27 million.
The team is now focused on adding a midfielder to their squad, but the deadline day could be hectic with both incoming and outgoing transfers being considered.
Whether or not Arsenal will be successful in signing a player remains to be seen, but the club is determined to complete the necessary moves before the transfer window closes.
