Arsenal have joined Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester United in the race to sign Juventus star Weston McKennie after sending scouts to watch the American midfielder.
The Gunners are thought to be keen on adding a central midfielder to Mikel Arteta's squad after failing to complete a deal during the summer transfer window. Arsenal had three bids rejected on Deadline Day for Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz, who has since signed a new long-term deal that will see him stay at Villa Park until 2027.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic continues to be linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, but Lazio have shown no intention of lowering their £60-70million asking price which technical director Edu was reluctant to match. Youri Tielemans remains a possibility for Arsenal but a move in the January transfer window is unlikely to materialise with the Gunners happy to wait until next summer when he becomes available on a free transfer upon expiry of his contract with Leicester, football.london understands.
