What Diego Simeone has said about Joao Felix's future amid £8m Arsenal transfer move

A new striker could very well be Arsenal's title saviour next month. The Gunners are on course to have a much busier January transfer window than previous years following Gabriel Jesus' successful surgery of his right knee after finding them involved in a Premier League title race with Manchester City.

Jesus, 25, is expected to miss at least three months after picking up the injury while at the World Cup with Brazil. Prior to the injury, the Gunners had prioritised the signing of a new wide player and central midfielder amid concerns of the lack of depth within Mikel Arteta's squad.

While Mykhaylo Mudryk's services continue to be monitored by technical director Edu, there remains the possibility that a new centre-forward may be recruited to replace Jesus. The striker had played a crucial role in Arsenal's leap to the top of the Premier League with 11 goal involvement in 14 games since moving from Manchester City in the summer.
