Arsenal could be on course to teach Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and interim sporting director Todd Boehly a key transfer lesson amid midfield worries.
The Blues have been very busy in the transfer market, just like their north London compatriots, and both sides could be very active in the last 48 hours of the transfer window. Once Wesley Fofana is announced, it is understood that two attackers are being targeted by Boehly as the final pieces of the puzzle. Wilfried Zaha, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and even potentially Neymar could be on the agenda in that regard.
Meanwhile, at London Colney, Edu and the higher-ups at Arsenal are planning potential late swoops for two players- a defensive midfielder and potentially a winger. The former of the positions has already been confirmed by David Ornstein and others. football.london understands that Mohamed Elneny has suffered a hamstring injury. He is set to be assessed in the next 24 hours to confirm the severity. The Gunners want this confirmed before making any big transfer decisions.
