Arsenal and Edu keen on £67m-rated striker to hijack Chelsea transfer plan

Arsenal and technical director Edu face one of the biggest mid-season transfer windows in the club’s recent history. The Gunners find themselves in a surprise Premier League title race with Manchester City but may need to add to Mikel Arteta's squad ahead of an unusually hectic 2023.

The north-Londoners have enjoyed their best start to a Premier League season this term to see Arteta’s side top of the table after 14 games. The Gunners' 2-0 win over Wolves last weekend means the club top the league at Christmas for the first time since 2007 - albeit there being no domestic action due to the World Cup.

So far, Arsenal have been better than Pep Guardiola's side. But that could all change with one or two injuries. City's squad depth is stronger than the Gunners' and the factor could play a huge role come the end of the season in May, hence why it’s no surprise that transfer rumours have intensified as we approach the January transfer window.
