Arsenal continue to be at the centre of several transfer rumours despite the unlikelihood of any January signings. The Gunners have been plagued by some key absences already this season with more of those coming in attack recently that has seen questions asked as to why Mikel Arteta is not dipping into the market.
Both Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri are currently missing because of injury but Arteta does not appear as though he is planning on spending this month. “First of all, someone who can impact the team, bringing bodies it doesn’t help at all,” he said on transfers earlier this week.
Despite hinting that no additions are to come, major updates on Viktor Gyokeres and Nico Williams, two players strongly linked to Arsenal, have come to light.
Gyokeres message
In Sporting CP’s Portuguese Cup final against Benfica, Gyokeres bagged goal 32 of the season. The Swede showed off his current confidence levels by opting to Panenka a penalty to equalise for his side in very tense circumstances. He also scored in the shootout that followed, though his side lost on spot-kicks.
Another attacking return for Gyokeres follows on from claims by Record Portugal that he has agreed with Sporting that he will be free to depart if any offer between £58.6million and £62.8million (€70million and €75million) arrives.
