Edu can seal double transfer swoop with £13m Julian Weigl hijack amid Arsenal Tielemans decision

Arsenal technical director Edu can satisfy Mikel Arteta's transfer demands with a double swoop for Julian Weigl and Myhaylo Mudryk this summer.

The Gunners have been hit with two injury blows this week after Thomas Partey sustained a thigh injury and Mohamed Elneny picked up a hamstring injury that could see both miss a number of weeks. Arteta has been clear in his desire to add one or two more signings to his squad before the transfer deadline with a central midfielder now thought to be a priority.

Youri Tielemans has long been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer, but Arsenal are willing to wait until next summer to secure the Leicester star's signature on a free transfer, football.london understands. The Gunners could look to hijack Weigl's rumoured return to the Bundesliga by securing a £13m deal for the German midfielder, leaving more funds to make a move for Mudryk.
