Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in signing Everton star Amadou Onana after Frank Lampard was sacked. Graham Potter and Mikel Arteta are looking to sign a new central midfielder to bolster their respective squads heading into the second half of the season.
The Blues have already spent over £100million this month bringing in Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, Joao Felix, Andrey Santos and David Datro Fofana. The Gunners have added Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior to Arteta's squad as they continue their Premier League title fight with Manchester City heading into the second half of the season.
Chelsea have been heavily linked with moves for Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo this month as they look to sign a new midfielder given the uncertainty surrounding N'Golo Kante's and Jorginho's futures at Stamford Bridge. Arsenal agreed personal terms with Youri Tielemans in the summer transfer window, as football.london reported last year, but now a move for his Belgian compatriot could be on the cards this month.
