The end of the January transfer window is fast approaching, and the whole Arsenal faithful are anxious to see some form of action as pressure mounts on Mikel Arteta to beef up his squad. Despite needing player reinforcements, the Gunners have made no available great move in the market so far, and this makes fans question if their team will strengthen up for the important second half of the season.
Arsenal latest transfer news
Mathys Tel to Arsenal?
The most exciting update this morning is that Bayern Munich winger Mathys Tel wants out of the Bavarians. With only 13 appearances for Bayern this season, the young Frenchman is keen to find a club where he can play more regularly.
Top transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that a host of Premier League clubs are monitoring Tel's situation, with Chelsea being one of the first teams mentioned. However, it is likely that Arsenal will also be in the mix considering their need for depth on the wings. If the Gunners make a formal offer, it could present a serious opportunity for Arteta to snap up the talented 18-year-old.
Jhon Duran's Step into the Sky
Another name now associated with the Gunners is Jhon Duran, an Aston Villa attacking player. Though the Colombian is not seen much on the Villa pitch, flashes of his possible form are glimpsed from limited appearances so far. Yet, it is the Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, which has emerged as the surprising frontrunner for the signing of this player.
However, Villa could opt to sell him if Arsenal takes their interest officially. Cash is one thing Arsenal would offer that can make Villa cash in the striker. Villa could find the amount lucrative and let him go, hoping Arteta sees worth in the young forward to strengthen Arsenal.
Alexander Isak's Market Price Still a Hurdle
However, the hopes for Alexander Isak arriving at the Emirates this month do stay. The striker for Newcastle United is simply on fire with his form going into this season, and thus one of the most coveted strike forwards for the Premier League at the moment. Of course, Arsenal is supposed to keep tabs on Isak; however, the price tag seems a bit sticky at present.
As things stand, it is highly unlikely that the Swedish international would move this window as Newcastle would not sell their star striker, and most importantly, in a mid-season transfer. Isak will be continuing his stay in the North East, and for now, that's a guarantee.
As the January window draws to a close, Arsenal's search for new talent remains very much in play. The situation regarding Mathys Tel is one to monitor, as the teenager may well be interested in a move to the Premier League, where Arsenal could prove an attractive option. Meanwhile, rumors continue to surround Jhon Duran and Alexander Isak, which indicate that Arteta wants to bring more attacking power to the table, but if those deals will actually happen is another question.
