Arsenal handed surprise January transfer boost with Man Utd to complete shock Wout Weghorst deal

Arsenal may have been handed a huge boost in the January transfer window thanks to Premier League rivals Manchester United. It comes as the Red Devils have made an approach for Burnley striker Wout Weghorst on loan for the remainder of the season, as per reports from the BBC.

The Netherlands international has spent the campaign so far on loan with Turkish side Besiktas, scoring eight goals in his time at the club. However, an exit seems even more likely after his latest goal on Saturday saw him wave to the fans while seemingly saying "bye bye".

"There is a reason [Anthony Martial has been substituted in his last seven games]. It is because he cannot manage the load. This is why we are looking for another striker," United boss Erik ten Hag told Sky Sports News, hinting at transfer activity in January.
