Arsenal need to add to the midfield department in the January transfer window. Despite a strong starting pivot in the middle of the park, there is a lack of quality in depth to boost Mikel Arteta’s options.
Youri Tielemans was thought to be the main target to bolster the Arsenal midfield. However, Arsenal have hesitated over a deal in the past, which was proven when Edu opted against signing him in the summer.
If Edu does opt against signing Tielemans in January, then it is crucial that an alternative is signed. A potential option for the Gunners is to hijack Liverpool’s potential for Mohammed Kudus from Ajax, and Edu use Thomas Partey as a key negotiation tool.
