Here is your Arsenal transfer roundup on Sunday, November 27.
Real Madrid in for Gakpo
According to Dutch journalist Marco Timmer, Real Madrid are interested in signing Gakpo for more than €50million (£43million). His agent reportedly has plans to have talks with clubs after the World Cup.
Gakpo has had an incredible start to the World Cup scoring two goals in two games. Players in the past have used the competition to secure a move to Real Madrid in the past with former Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil and Colombian international James Rodriguez being the prime examples.

Real Madrid’s interest in Gakpo comes after Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth had claimed that Arsenal could accelerate their plans to sign the Dutch winger and has not ruled out a January move. This comes after an excellent start to the season for the youngster in the Eredivisie.
Man United in for Diaby
According to Spanish news outlet Fichajes, Manchester United are also considering a move to sign Diaby in the January transfer window. The Red Devils need to strengthen their attack after releasing Cristiano Ronaldo from his contract.
This comes after Fabrizio Romano, via Caught Offside, claimed that Diaby has been on Edu and Arteta's list since missing out on Raphinha in the summer transfer window. Diaby had his best campaign to date last season, grabbing 13 goals and 12 assists for Leverkusen in 32 Bundesliga games.
Edu can complete double deal
Two positions seem to be the main targets for the Gunners, as Edu had reportedly been chasing players in the midfield and wing areas. It looks as though the Brazilian is prioritising these areas in January as the Gunners continue to be linked to players in those positions.
Youri Tielemans and Mykhaylo Mudryk are the two targets who have been heavily linked with a move the Gunners. And Edu has been given a major boost in securing their signature amid the players’ reported intentions.
According to Ben Jacobs via GiveMeSport, Newcastle are very much not the frontrunners for Mudryk, who has got his heart set on Arsenal, which is similar to Tielemans. But the only missing piece is that Arsenal are yet to submit a transfer bid for either player.
