Arsenal are already preparing for a busy January transfer window with Mikel Arteta hoping to bolster the options in his squad ahead of the final months of the 2022/23 season. The Gunners have identified central midfield as a position in need of upgrades and have identified several possible additions.
Following injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny, Arsenal made a move on deadline day for Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz but the deal fell through after the Midlands club rebuffed three bids from Arsenal, with the Brazilian now having signed a new long-term deal at Villa Park.
Arsenal, along with Chelsea and Spurs, are now reportedly interested in signing Liverpool star Naby Keita, according to 90min, with the midfielder's contract set to expire at the end of the season.
