Takehiro Tomiyasu returns, Oleksandr Zinchenko hint: Five things spotted at Arsenal training

Oleksandr Zinchenko Arsenal Takehiro Tomiyasu Mikel Arteta Brighton Eddie Nketiah EPL Mykhaylo Mudryk West Ham Gabriel Jesus

Mikel Arteta has been boosted by the return of one key player as the Arsenal squad trained ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Brighton. The Gunners will be hoping to maintain their gap to reigning champions Manchester City at the top of the table with another positive result on Saturday, December 31.

Arsenal have enjoyed a strong season so far and currently lead the way by five points ahead of City, who beat Leeds United on Wednesday evening as Erling Haaland fired a warning to the Gunners. Gabriel Jesus is set to be out until February after suffering a knee injury whilst away at the World Cup with Brazil, handing Eddie Nketiah the chance to prove himself.

Goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Nketiah sealed a 3-1 win over West Ham on Boxing Day as Arsenal picked up where they left off in the Premier League. The Gunners will hope that Mykhaylo Mudryk can complete a transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk as soon as possible to help reinforce Arteta's attack, along with a new central midfielder.
