Deadline day has arrived and still, Arsenal supporters hang on to the hope that the striker Mikel Arteta desperately needs will arrive before the close of the January transfer window.
However, yesterday evening saw a new link to a forward that it seemed almost inevitable that eventually would see a connection to the club. Juventus striker Alvaro Morata is said to be in direct communication with the Arsenal coaching staff.
Spanish outlet AS reports that Arteta’s assistant Miguel Molina has spoken with Morata and has made him see that he would fit into the missing piece of the north London side’s puzzle. A deal would likely be for a loan due to Morata’s Transfermarkt valuation of £31.5m much higher than what the Gunners would be willing to pay for him.
