Former Arsenal player Paul Merson has urged the Gunners to make a move for PSV Eindhoven and Netherlands star Cody Gakpo over Joao Felix in January, "even if it costs £100million". It comes ahead of what could be a potentially busy January transfer window for the Gunners in their title pursuit.
Mikel Arteta's side will return to the Premier League in first, five points clear of current champions Manchester City after an electric start to the campaign. They may not be the same side though, especially given the injury to Gabriel Jesus in the World Cup, which is set to keep him out for up to three months after knee surgery.
When asked if the injury changes plans for January, Arteta responded: "No. We know that he needed some intervention in the knee and we have to take day by day, week by week and see where that takes us. What it affects is who we are as a team because he gives us so much."
