Arsenal are prepared to spend £50 million in the upcoming January transfer window, according to The Sun.
Mikel Arteta’s men have made a flying start to the season with 28 points from 11 league matches, while they have also booked their place in the knockout stage of the Europa League without breaking too much sweat.
However, they are not resting on their laurels yet and will look to strengthen their squad even further when the transfer window reopens next year.
Despite forking out a whopping £130m to acquire the services of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Jesus, Matt Turner, Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira, Arsenal have unfinished business in the market.
Due to injuries to Mohamed Elneny and Thomas Partey this term, Arsenal have been down to bare bones in the middle of the park on a number of occasions which is an issue that needs addressing going forward.
A deadline-day swoop for Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz was made but Arsenal failed to get a deal over the line and the 25-year-old has since put pen to paper on a new long-term deal with his current employers.
This should see the Premier League leaders move on to other targets such as Moises Caicedo and Danilo, who is well known to the Arsenal technical director Edu and could be on the move very soon as the current Brasileiro season nears its completion.
Having also been linked to Pedro Neto, Yeremy Pino and Mykhaylo Mudryk last summer, the Gunners are expected to be in the hunt for a new winger.
In the meantime, Arsenal will be aiming to put together a strong run of results heading into the World Cup break starting with tomorrow’s visit to PSV Eindhoven in the first of six games across all competitions left to play before football’s biggest event takes centre-stage.
