Arsenal have been backed by former striker Kevin Campbell to complete a move for Brighton star Leandro Trossard before their London rivals Chelsea. The Belgium international has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in a potential reunion with former boss Graham Potter.
However, it's the Gunners that have been backed to secure a deal as they potentially eye ways to strengthen their squad with the January transfer window on the horizon. It could allow them to sustain their current push at the top of the table, sitting in first after 11 games played.
Questions have since been asked as to whether there is enough strength in depth to sustain a title challenge, given the heavy nature of the fixture schedule. "We have the same [squad] that we had a month ago, two days ago, and the same as what we're going to have next week," Mikel Arteta said when asked about whether the depth is an issue after a draw against Southampton.
