Arsenal enter £50m transfer battle to hijack Premier League rival move amid Edu wish

Arsenal have reportedly entered the race to sign Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Djibril Sow. The Gunners are understood to be keen on bringing a new central midfielder to the Emirates Stadium amid concerns about the fitness of Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey.

Mikel Arteta's men have enjoyed a rather superior start to the 2022/23 season and find themselves occupying the top place in the Premier League table. The starting XI utilised throughout the first 14 games has rarely changed with the Gunners boss sticking with the same players in the league.

The method has obviously done the trick up until now but the need for quality off the bench will be called upon when Premier League football returns after the World Cup. With the second half of their league fixtures still to come, Arsenal will also compete in three cup competitions in 2023 and will ultimately need further squad depth should they compete.
