Category: Arsenal Rumours

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has long been admired at Arsenal. There were speculations that the versatile midfielder was set to join Arsenal in the summer of 2022, but his deal did not go through since he said no to the transfer. Months later, there were rumors that he had changed his mind about Arsenal and would love to join them. Even with his “approval” for the transfer, the Gunners will have to go back for him for him to seal a move to the Emirates.

Interestingly, Arsenal’s current focus is on signing a Premier League midfielder, with Ilkay Gundogan, Mason Mount, Declan Rice, and Moises Caicedo all being considered. So, could Arsenal return for Savic, who has been extensively linked with a move away from Lazio and likely out of Serie A, with Juventus and Milan unwilling to take him on the cheap deal Lazio is ready to let him go? According to Corrieredello Sport, his representative may be making contact with clubs that have previously expressed interest in his client.

According to the report, his agent would make contact with Arsenal. If I were an Arsenal executive, I’d see Savic as a suitable replacement for Granit Xhaka. He, like the Swiss international, is a leader, experienced, and talented (he had nine goals and eight assists in 35 appearances last season). Anyway, we’ll have to wait and see whether Savic signs or not.

Can you name any of Arteta’s Arsenal starting eleven who would be willing to walk away from their current successful run in the Premier League?

Arsenal is having their best league run ever, having just collected their 15th league win of the season after defeating their North London rivals Tottenham Hotspurs 2-0 this weekend. Arsenal now comfortably leads the Premier League table with 47 points, eight points ahead of second-placed Manchester City. Arteta’s Arsenal project is finally paying off.

So, can any Gunner be “turned” to abandon his good fortune at the Emirates? Juventus, according to CMW, believes they can persuade Gabriel Magalhaes to join their project.

Gabriel is well-liked by the Serie A giants. There was talk a few days ago that they might offer Dusan Vlahovic to Arsenal in exchange for the Arsenal player.

Now, according to CMW, Juve’s new board will take over on Thursday, after which they will attempt to make a headline defensive swoop, with Gabriel being targeted as this defender.

It remains to be seen whether a large bid for Gabriel will be made in the coming days. But if it happens, it will be perplexing if Arteta allows his defensive beast to leave months after signing a new contract.

Arsenal, like last summer, is in need of a striker this winter transfer window. After the 2021-22 season, where Arsenal bottled a clear chance to finish in the top 4, one thing was clear: Their inability to outscore some of their opponents saw them fail to “kill off games”.

Signing a striker was the only way they could improve for the 2022–23 season, and Arteta just did that by paying £45 million to Manchester City for Gabriel Jesus. There’s no denying how influential Jesus has been in Arteta’s attack. When he was fit, Arsenal’s attack became dangerous because if he isn’t scoring, he is assisting, and if he isn’t assisting, he is creating chances.

Anyway, Arsenal will be without him for the upcoming games and will need to find a replacement. So, who should they seek to replace Jesus with? Tammy Abraham has firmly entered the running to cover for the injured Jesus, according to la Reppublica, as translated by Roma Press, after the Gunners inquired about him.

Abraham turned down a move to Arsenal in 2021 to join AS Roma. He went on to become a big hit in Serie A, scoring 17 goals in 37 games last season. His stats last season saw him made “untouchable” as far as the transfer window is concerned; however, his poor form this term, where he has 3 goals in 16 games, has made him “sellable” now.

Arsenal wants to sign him and give him a chance to re-establish himself in the English football scene. Roma wants to sell him.

We’ll have to wait and see if a move for Abraham is fully pursued, but the former Blue has three years left on his contract.

Even with Shakhtar Donetsk’s high asking price and Chelsea’s entry into the race, not many Gunners would be content with Arsenal simply giving up on signing Ukrainian Neymar, who has been courting them in recent months.

William Gallas, on the other hand, has hinted that Arsenal would be better off foregoing a move for Mudryk because he doesn’t know if they need him and believes Nketiah will perform well going forward. “I don’t know if Arsenal need Mykhaylo Mudryk for the second part of the season. Maybe they do,” Gallas told Getting Casino.

“As I said, the season is very long. But at the same time, Arteta has his squad already, players on the bench, players who can come on and play in that position like Nketiah.

“It’s really difficult to get an answer to that question because I’m not there and I don’t know what is going down. So if they sign him, they know why.

“I’m sure Mudryk is a great player who can help the squad. So if that player can help them to win the title, then they should buy him.”

Reading what Gallas has to say, I understand why some may be confused, but at the end of the day, the question he may be indirectly asking is, “Does Arsenal need Mudryk, or is he just a player they want but don’t need?”
