Arsenal were unable to sign a winger in the summer transfer window, despite the clear need to strengthen in the wide areas. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have a lot of pressure to perform until the next opportunity to address this area of the pitch opens.
One player who the club were reportedly looking to sign in the summer transfer window was Marco Asensio. But, a deal never managed to materialise, meaning the winger stayed in the Spanish capital following the closing of the market.
However, the Gunners are no longer the only reported party interested in the Champions League winner. Astonishingly, Barcelona are reportedly looking to attempt to negotiate a deal to sign Asensio from their arch-rivals Real Madrid.
