Arsenal began their festive period in the best possible fashion on Saturday with a dominant victory over struggling Crystal Palace.
Gabriel Jesus continued his stellar form with a quickfire brace either side of Ismaila Sarr’s equaliser. But the Gunners did not look back after that with Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Declan Rice scoring to conclude the rout.
The Gunners continue to sit six points behind leaders Liverpool and will be hoping the January transfer window could provide them with an opportunity to strengthen their squad. In our latest look at the media headlines, it appears that one position is looking likely to be the priority.
Arsenal’s Kolo Muani transfer truth
The Athletic’s David Ornstein has explained that while Arsenal have previously considered PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani as a player of interest, there is no current suggestion that they will try and sign the forward in January. The 26-year-old centre-forward currently finds himself on the fringes of Luis Enrique’s team and it is expected that he will depart this winter.
However, a move to Arsenal does not appear to be on the cards at this stage with a switch to AS Monaco seen as more likely for him. Kolo Muani has scored just two goals in 14 appearances this season and has been left out of PSG’s previous two squads in Ligue 1.
