Arsenal have been linked to a Premier League star ahead of the January window, with one name a clear point of change in Arteta’s squad.
Arsenal have got their 2023/24 Premier League campaign off to a flying start, as the Gunners hope to improve on their narrow second-place finish last term.
By beating Manchester City last time out, Mikel Arteta’s side were able to accomplish a hurdle that prevented them from going all the way in 2022/23,
Leaving the north Londoners once again hopeful of securing their first league title since 2004.
Arsenal’s form last season inspired them to conduct a strong summer of new acquisitions, as Arteta and Edu spent over £200m in welcoming new faces to the squad to bolster the depth on show.
Aside from Jurrien Timber’s agonising anterior cruciate ligament injury on the opening day,
The new arrivals have fitted in well to their surroundings at the Emirates,
As the Gunners remain unbeaten in the league after eight games.
That being said, rumours have begun to surface with reference to the January transfer window as time ticks by,
With one name mentioned as a player that Arsenal could be interested in poaching this winter.
Could Arsenal sign Ivan Toney?
As reported by the Mirror, Brentford striker Ivan Toney is believe to be keen on a potential move to north London, with his price tag said to have set around £60m by the Bees.
It’s not the first time that news regarding links between the striker and Arteta’s side have surfaced,
With the Mirror also reporting last month that the Gunners were ‘likely to be’ in the mix for a striker in the next window.
Matters made more imaginable rather than just being a fantasy
when Toney admitted his desire to one day play for Arsenal,
Telling the Diary of a CEO podcast that he “liked Arsenal”
“how they play” when asked about potential next clubs.
With the topic of strikers still a touchy one at the Emirates despite the development in other areas of the squad,
January could be the perfect time for Arteta and Edu to pounce on the Englishman,
when he returns from his ban.
