Arsenal have been joined by Italian giants Inter Milan in the race to sign World Cup star Marcus Thuram in the upcoming January transfer window The Gunners look set to spend big in the market as reports claim that manager Mikel Arteta has the blessing of the owners to make a push for signings.
That's because the side have made an unexpectedly quick rise to the top of the Premier League, sitting several points clear of rivals Manchester City in second. However, a huge blow over the World Cup break came for the side as star striker Gabriel Jesus returned early with a knee injury.
The Brazilian is now set for months on the sidelines after the issue required surgery and will now follow with rehab before being match fit again. "Obviously he’s gone through surgery so that tells you the extent of the injury and we’ll be in the market, always active and we will assess the biggest opportunities that we have," Arteta said when asked about the situation surrounding the forward and a potential replacement.
