According to journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, the Emirates Stadium team is identifying potential targets.
Besides Kai Havertz or Declan Rice, Arsenal also introduced another quality signature in the recent transfer window, Jurrien Timber.
The Dutchman arrived at the Emirates from Ajax and quickly made his impact. Timber not only plays well as a centre-back but can also take on the role of full-back.
However, when everything was changing in a positive direction, the Dutch star suffered a serious injury, forcing him to take a long break from competition.
Timber’s absence significantly reduces Arsenal’s defensive depth. Therefore, in the upcoming transfer window, Mikel Arteta is expected to recruit a new name to solve the problem in this area.
Sources from journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu said they are keeping an eye on Fenerbahce star Ferdi Kadioglu.
It is known that Gunners scouting director Romain Poirot has watched the 24-year-old star in recent matches and gave positive assessments. Therefore, it is likely that they will conduct negotiations with Fenerbahce next January to promote this deal.
As revealed by CaughtOffside, the British star suddenly wanted to join Arsenal if he left Manchester City.
While not showing much at Newcastle United, Sandro Tonali had to receive a betting ban. Therefore, the home team of St. James’ Park was forced to participate in the winter transfer market and search for a top midfielder to replace Tonali. British media said that coach Eddie Howe’s number one target is currently Kalvin Phillips, who is being “snubbed”; entirely at Manchester City.
Up to now, Phillips has only appeared 4 times in the Premier League this season, and all of them came from the bench. As EURO 2024 is approaching, the former Leeds United star is said to be ready to look for a new stop to have the opportunity to play regularly. Notably, as revealed by CaughtOffside, Phillips wants to move to Arsenal to be teammates with Declan Rice.
However, there is still no information suggesting that Phillips is on the Gunners’ list of transfer targets, and with Kai Havertz delivering impressive performances in midfield, perhaps coach Mikel Arteta does not have plan to strengthen the midfield at this time. Besides Newcastle, Phillips is also said to be the target of many other clubs such as Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham or Borussia Dortmund.
