Arsenal Newsnow: Arsenal is reportedly considering a move for RB Salzburg’s Noah Okafor. The Spanish coach is looking to bolster his team by signing a striker. Also, Mikel Arteta is looking for a centre forward who isn’t just another version of Jesus or Nketiah. Now that the Gunners are red hot, their Spanish coach is looking to capitalize on the team’s momentum.
The Premier League’s break for the World Cup provided an opportunity for the team to consider potential transfer targets. If the Gunners continue to perform well after the break, Mikel Arteta may attempt to strengthen his team over the offseason. Potentially on their wishlist are a winger, a midfielder, and a striker.
The 22-year-old centre forward is said to be leaving this winter. It is unclear whether the Gunners’ desire is genuine. However, Arsenal is supposedly the favourite to sign him, according to the article. At the moment, Mikel Arteta is pleased with Jesus’s efforts and lukewarm about Nketiah’s.
Arsenal Newsnow: Will Noah Okafor sign for Arsenal?
The Gunners’ desire for a fresh alternative stems from the team’s sometimes inability to switch up its assault strategy. However, the Spanish coach will focus on signing a winger and a central midfielder first. He may look at bringing in centre-forward Noah Okafor or another player if the team budget and roster allow for it.
Mikel Arteta, manager of Arsenal, is hoping to bolster the club’s Premier League championship chances by making two transfers this month.
The Gunners have only lost once this season. Yet they are five points ahead of Manchester City in the league. However, Arteta’s team seems like it might be overrun by injuries, a problem the Spaniard hopes to fix in the next transfer window.
The Gunners are flying high
Mykhailo Mudryk of Shakhtar Donetsk is still his primary aim, although competition for his services is heating up from Chelsea. Multiple reports have indicated that the Ukrainian Premier League club has turned down two offers from the Gunners.
After all of those denials, the Daily Telegraph reports that the Gunners are still determined to recruit the winger. However, it is reported that they would not get involved in a bidding battle with Premier League rivals Chelsea. It is said that the 22-year-old Mudryk is interested in joining the club and the club’s management is “confident” about signing him. Despite rising rivalry from the Blues, they are making every effort to complete a deal for the Shakhtar star.
Premier League rivals Chelsea, led by Graham Potter, are also interested in Mudryk. Rumour has it that they will be able to outbid Arsenal for his services. After having a proposal of £55 million rejected by the Ukrainian club, the Gunners have signalled that they are prepared to give more.
