Arsenal can deliver second Chelsea embarrassment with Mikel Arteta's dream £105m transfer steal

Arsenal will need to sign a wing-forward ahead of next season to further complement Eddie Nketiah, and Gabriel Jesus. Arsenal have already identified this player, and have potentially eliminated Chelsea as being a stumbling block.

According to Italian news outlet Tuttomercato, Chelsea are willing to compete to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan. To secure his services a transfer could cost upwards of £100million, with £105million bids expected to be launched.

Considering the stardom of Leao, and Arsenal’s need for a winger, Edu can throw his hat in the ring, as he did previously. The Gunners’ dismantling of Chelsea on Sunday afternoon highlighted that the north London can compete with the biggest of the teams on the pitch, which also helps with negotiations off the pitch.
