The January transfer window is firmly underway and Arsenal will be looking at the possibility of improving their squad where possible. football.london understands that the Gunners are monitoring the loan market over the coming month for options that could help their Premier League title push
Elsewhere, there continue to be links between the north London outfit and other positions within the team they could look to improve upon. Centre-forward is one area that has been touted around, while a midfielder and a full-back may be on the cards in the weeks that follow.
With that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal transfer links as we enter the fifth day of the January transfer window.
Dusan Vlahovic
Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli has discussed the potential of Dusan Vlahovic leaving the club for Arsenal in the January transfer window, shutting down rumours over a bid. He said, via Fabrizio Romano: “Bid from Arsenal for Dusan Vlahović? We don’t know anything about that story, there’s nothing. Vlahović is NOT for sale.”
Arsenal have seen the loan of young midfielder Mauro Bandeira to Colchester United end early as he returns from the League Two outfit. The 20-year-old had featured at the start of the spell, but an injury midway through saw him struggle to return to action for the U’s.
A statement from the Essex side reads: “Mauro Bandeira has returned to Arsenal. The nineteen-year-old [20-year-old] joined the U’s on loan from the Premier League giants during pre-season back in July, a year after he signed his first pro contract at the Emirates. Following a good start for the youngster, with eleven appearances in the first couple of months of the season, Bandeira has found it hard to force himself into the first team squad in recent weeks. Both clubs decided that it was best for Mauro to cut short the loan and return to North London. Colchester United wish Mauro well in his future football career.”
Ivan Toney
Brentford have placed a new £100million price tag on striker Ivan Toney during the January transfer window, according to a report from the Independent. The England international has been linked with a move to Arsenal as well as Chelsea, but it appears as though both teams will have to sell in order to land him.
