Liverpool star Naby Keita is in the final year of his contract at Anfield, with Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea all said to be interested in signing the midfielder next summer.
The Gunners were keen on adding a new central midfielder to their squad in the summer transfer window after Thomas Partey, and Mohamed Elneny picked up muscle injuries. A deadline day move for Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz failed to materialise after the Midlands club rebuffed three bids from Arsenal, with the Brazilian now having signed a new long-term deal at Villa Park.
Mikel Arteta is thought to remain interested in adding a new midfielder to his squad in the upcoming transfer windows as he looks to reinforce his squad and continue the Gunners' impressive development. Keita has struggled with injuries throughout his Liverpool career after completing a £53million move from RB Leipzig back in 2018, but Arsenal have been warned against making a move for the Guinea international next summer.
