Edu can complete bargain 'next Erling Haaland' transfer as Arsenal face Man Utd competition

Arsenal can look to beat their Premier League rivals Manchester United and sign the 'next Erling Haaland'. The Norwegian striker has taken the English top-flight by storm since arriving at Manchester City in the summer.

Haaland has already notched 30 goal contributions in just 21 appearances for City in all competitions this term, reaching 20 Premier League goals quicker than any other player in history. The Gunners are in need of attacking reinforcements after Gabriel Jesus suffered a knee injury during the World Cup that is set to keep him sidelined until February.

Arsenal completed a £45million deal to sign the Brazilian striker from City after he expressed a desire to leave the Etihad Stadium following Haaland's arrival. Jesus has proved to be a brilliant signing for Mikel Arteta, but should Bukayo Saka or Gabriel Martinelli suffer a fresh injury then it would leave the Gunners short of options in attack.
