Premier League side Arsenal have recently suffered a major blow in the Winter transfer window. We all know by now, Chelsea has hijacked Arsenal’s main target for this window, Mykhaylo Mudryk, from Shakhtar Donetsk for a whopping transfer fee of €100 Million. Chelsea and Arsenal, as we know, are major rivals (both London clubs) and this makes this even more personal for the Gunners.
Things are very sensitive right now and fans have started questioning Arsenal’s sporting director Edu.
It is thus very important that the Brazilian makes a big signing soon lest the fans and the club lose confidence in him. In this article, we will discuss some of the main alternatives that Arsenal might consider upon missing out on Mudryk.
Four possible alternatives for Arsenal
1. Moussa Diaby – Bayer Leverkusen player Moussa Diaby is reportedly considered as an ideal replacement for Pepe at Arsenal. According to SportBild, the French footballer is priced at €100 Million by the Bundesliga club.
However, this price might drop down to €75 Million is the player pushes for a move. He has scored 6 goals in 15 matches in Bundesliga and 2 goals in 6 matches in the UEFA Champions league so far this season.
2. Wilfried Zaha – Zaha has been looking for a way out of Crystal Palace for a long time now. His contract with the Premier League side ends soon and he will probably not sign a new contract with them.
He has been one of the most feared wingers in the Premier League in the last few years, and he wants to join one of the ‘Big 6’ clubs next. We know that he supported Arsenal as a child, and the Gunners might target him.

3. Raphael Leao – Among the 4 players in this list, Leao is probably the hardest to get. He is one of the hottest prospects in Europe currently and many top tier clubs are after him. Moreover, the player himself seems happy at AC Milan and does not intend to move elsewhere anytime soon. However, if Edu wants to win the fanbase back, he needs to make a Leao-esque signing.
4. Eden Hazard – Arsenal are reportedly also interested in signing former Chelsea-man Eden Hazard from Real Madrid. Although he is no longer the player that he once was, Hazard might prove to be a good addition. However, it would add to the argument that Arsenal is the ‘retirement home’ for Chelsea players.
