The busy festive season is upon us, with Arsenal back in action today (Wednesday) as they look to make it into the final four of the Carabao Cup.
The Gunners host fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium in the quarter-final of the competition with kick off at 7.30pm. Just days later Mikel Arteta’s side face the same opponents away from home in the Premier League, as they travel to Selhurst Park on Saturday evening (5.30pm kick-off).
As well as the busy fixture schedule, eyes will also be turning to the upcoming January transfer window. The window opens in two weeks, with Arsenal one of the teams who will be looking to do business.
It’s no surprise then that the transfer links have started. With that in mind, here’s a look at a couple of the stories over the last 24 hours.
