Arsenal have been given two opportunities to sign a former Tottenham transfer target ahead of the January transfer window. The Gunners are preparing to continue their title fight with Manchester City when the Premier League resumes on Boxing Day.
Sporting director Edu Gaspar strengthened Mikel Arteta's squad during the summer by securing deals for Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Marquinhos. Arsenal look set to make more investments in January with a new central midfielder and attacker among the priorities for Edu.
Mykhaylo Mudryk and Cody Gakpo have both been heavily linked with moves to the Emirates Stadium, but now a player who their north London rivals were keen on signing has emerged as a possible option. Spurs remain keen on adding a new playmaker to Antonio Conte's squad, but could now face competition from Arsenal.
