Arsenal ’s sporting director Edu will be hard at work in a month’s time with the transfer window set to open.
The Gunners had an extremely busy summer as they welcomed the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira and more to the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners spent around £120m throughout the summer window and that spending shows no sign of slowing down in the future.
Arsenal have already been linked with a number of players throughout Europe ahead of the window. With that being said, Mirror Football brings you the latest transfer rumours and gossip coming out of the Emirates Stadium from the last 24 hours.
Arsenal make Kudus ‘contact’
One of the stars of the World Cup so far, Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus is much sought-after already. The 22-year-old scored a brace in Ghana’s victory over South Korea.
His performances for Eredivisie giants Ajax have also been eye-catching, leading to plenty of interest in his services - including from the Emirates Stadium. According to 90min, the Gunners have already made contact with Kudus’ current employers regarding the prospect of a January deal.
Whether those initial enquiries progress into a tangible move remains to be seen but Arsenal face competition in the race for the midfielder with the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle also noted as admirers.
