He feels that Milan attacker will be able to unlock the true potential of the Swedish international. Gyokeres needs more service, and a quality wide player could certainly make a difference in the final third.
Leao will add pace, flair and unpredictability in the final third. He will help create opportunities for his teammates, and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done.
According to Fichajes, they are looking at Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid as well. It will be interesting to see which of the two players ends up at Arsenal eventually. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be attractive for both players.

Meanwhile, the Portuguese international has proven himself at Milan and for his country. This could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. The move to the Premier League could be ideal for him. He has the physicality for English football, and he could be an important player for Arsenal.
The Gunners have the financial resources to convince Milan to sell the player, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. He is highly rated across Europe, and Luka Modrić has recently labelled him as an “amazing” player. He has the ability to improve further, and moving to the Premier League could accelerate his development.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has fired a clear warning to any of his players thinking about the World Cup next summer over the good of their club.
Speaking at his press conference on Friday, Arteta was asked by reporters about the situation of players like Ethan Nwaneri and Gabriel Jesus, who aren’t necessarily getting as many minutes as they might want.
Nwaneri might have an outside chance of making it into the England squad for next summer’s tournament, but he’s currently struggling to get much first-team action with Arsenal, starting only three games so far this season, with none of those coming in the Premier League.
See the video below, however, as Arteta brushed off questions about Nwaneri and Jesus by insisting it would be a “really bad approach” for any of his players to be looking ahead to the World Cup now…

Mikel Arteta’s World Cup warning to Arsenal players
When asked at first about Nwaneri’s role in the team, Arteta defended his record of giving the 18-year-old a lot of chances at such an early stage in his career.
He said: “Probably looking at where he is, 18 years old, 50 appearances for the club.
“I want to see how many examples there are in English football with that number at that age.”

When asked about players like Nwaneri and Jesus and the World Cup, Arteta made it very clear it would be a big problem for him if anyone in his squad put that competition ahead of the rest of the season for Arsenal now.
However, Arsenal view him as an important player, and they are unwilling to sanction his departure. The former Manchester City striker is versatile enough to operate in multiple attacking roles, and Mikel Arteta believes that he could be an important player for Arsenal during the second half of the campaign.
Arsenal are pushing for the league title, and they will look to do well in the UEFA Champions League as well. They need more quality and cutting-edge in the final third.
Jesus could prove to be very useful for them. Arsenal signed Viktor Gyokeres during the summer transfer window, but the Swedish International has not been at his best this season. It is clear that he needs more support in the attack. Holding onto the Brazilian attacker, at least until the end of the season, would be a wise decision.

Meanwhile, Jesus will look to play regularly in the coming months as well. It remains to be seen whether he can convince the manager to hand him a prominent role in the team. He has the quality and the experience to make a big difference for Arsenal in the final third over the next few months.
If he struggles to hold down a regular starting spot, he could then move on at the end of the season. However, selling him in January could prove to be a mistake, and Arsenal are certainly not keen on that.
As first reported here for the Daily Briefing, the Eagles are making Diomande a top target to replace Marc Guehi, who continues to be targeted by Liverpool and other big clubs around Europe.
Sporting don’t want to sell Diomande and are pointing to his €80m release clause, which one imagines could prove problematic for Palace, but perhaps less so for Chelsea.
Other top clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle are also understood to have scouted Diomande in recent times.

This is a clear signal that the south Londoners are planning for life without Guehi, who won’t be signing a new contract and who is due to become a free agent next summer.
The England international was targeted by Liverpool towards the end of last summer’s transfer window, only for Palace to pull the plug late on as they didn’t have a replacement.
If they can land a talent like Diomande to strengthen their defence, however, then that would help fill the gap left by Guehi.
LFC fans will no doubt hope this is a boost for them in their pursuit of Guehi, but it doesn’t necessarily mean Anfield will be his next destination.
The 25-year-old will have numerous other suitors in for him, so in many ways Palace’s interest in Diomande doesn’t directly change that much.
It is yet another indication, however, that Guehi’s future lies away from Selhurst Park, so some Reds fans will surely see that as a positive, even if that already looked likely some time ago anyway.
Arsenal have been praised for their transfer deal for Noni Madueke, who has impressed since joining from rivals Chelsea in the summer.
Former Blues striker Chris Sutton says he felt at the time that Madueke’s departure from Stamford Bridge could hurt his former club, and it does seem like an increasingly smart piece of business by the Gunners.
Madueke starred for Arsenal in their midweek Champions League win over Club Brugge, scoring two goals in a 3-0 victory.
The England international also scored in the recent win over Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium, and it looks like he will prove a valuable squad player to take the pressure off Bukayo Saka, who has often had to play 90 minutes in pretty much every single game for Arsenal.

Chris Sutton praises Noni Madueke signing by Arsenal
“It wasn’t just with his goals that Noni Madueke made an impact, he did really well throughout the game and showed he is ready to do a job when he is called upon,” Sutton said via BBC Sport.
“A lot is made of Arsenal’s strength in depth this season, and at the moment Arteta has got a few injuries in key positions.
“But in those wide areas he has got plenty of options and the fact he could bring Madueke and Martinelli off the bench against Villa at the weekend and then start them tonight and see both of them score brilliant goals is a real positive.
“More and more, Madueke looks like a really smart signing. I already thought he was a loss to Chelsea, but you are seeing now he is back from injury that Arsenal can have Saka off that right side, or use him – it bodes really well for them with such a busy period coming up.”
Some Arsenal fans might well feel Madueke is showing glimpses of being able to challenge Saka for his place in Mikel Arteta’s starting XI.
After a few injuries, there have occasionally been signs of Saka slowing down a little bit and not quite looking at his best.

And yet, as the stats above show, he’s still producing impressive numbers for Arsenal, showing how important he is to the team even when he’s not yet at 100% peak fitness and form.
Madueke also has his qualities and will surely improve once he’s more settled at Arsenal, while he’s another one of many players in this squad to have also had problems with injuries this term.
Arsenal are keeping tabs on the Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Diant Ramaj.
According to Sport.de, Arsenal have been scouting the player recently, and they have watched him multiple times. The 24-year-old is currently on loan at Heidenheim, and he has impressed with his performances.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal decide to make a move for him in the coming months. They are well-stocked in the goalkeeping department with David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga. It will be interesting to see if they can accommodate the 24-year-old in their plans, if they decide to make a move for him.
Meanwhile, the player will look to return to Dortmund and establish himself as a key player for the club. Gregor Kobel is currently the first-choice goalkeeper at the German club. Ramaj will want to play regularly at this stage of his career, and if the German cannot provide him with that opportunity, he could look to consider an exit. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

The 24 year-old player and he could be a useful option for Dortmund and Arsenal. He should look to join a club where he will get ample first-team opportunities. Sitting on the bench at a big club will not benefit him at this stage of his career.
For now, Arsenal are keeping close tabs on his progress, and they are yet to make a concrete move for him. If he is made available at the end of the season, the Gunners could look to test the waters with a potential move.
It seems unlikely that Arsenal will be able to sign him without letting go of Kepa, who is currently the backup goalkeeper at the club.
Arsene Wenger wanted to bring the Swiss International midfielder to Arsenal during his time at the club. He was a quality player for Udinese and Napoli. There is no doubt that he had the attributes to do well in the Premier League as well. He could have been a useful option for them.
Gokhan Inler on failed Arsenal move
Inler revealed on The Italian Football Podcast: “Of course, during this time, I had an agent. I didn’t have so much information as I was concentrating on the pitch. Yes, the rumours were there. Behind the scenes, now I understand what happens behind the scenes, but before, you don’t know what’s going on.
“But yeah, it could be, I read about this. But I can say, and many people don’t know about this, but in my first year at Udine, I had an offer from Arsenal. However, the club said no, Inler is part of our project, so I stayed there four years.
“Yes, Arsene Wenger wanted me correct. Like I said, I didn’t know what was going around but I was also a Swiss national team player with Johan Djourou and Philippe Senderos were Arsenal players. That’s why I saw the coach with the national team, but in the end the club decided to keep me and I had a great four years with Udinese.”
Liverpool continue to push for Yan Diomande, and they are now accelerating their efforts to sign the 19-year-old as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.
According to a report from Fichajes, they are prepared to invest a record amount of money in order to sign the attacker.
Yan Diomande is a top prospect
Diomande has been an important player for the German club, and there is no doubt that he is a tremendous talent. He could develop into a quality player with the right guidance, and moving to Liverpool could be ideal for him. The German club reportedly values the player at €100 million.
Arsenal and Manchester City are interested in securing his services as well. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can beat the competition for his signature.

Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move away from the club in the coming weeks, and Liverpool will need to replace him properly. The Egyptian has struggled for regular opportunities in decent weeks, and he has been dropped from the starting lineup.
On the other hand, Arsenal and Manchester City are looking to add more explosiveness in the final third, and they are keeping tabs on the 19-year-old. It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs can get the deal done. His asking price is quite high, and the German outfit is unlikely to lower their demands for him.
Meanwhile, the player will look to compete at the highest level and play for the biggest clubs in the world.
Real Madrid attacking midfielder Arda Guler has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.
Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly in the front row to secure his signature. Arsenal needs to add more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the versatile Turkish International could be a useful acquisition for them. On the other hand, Manchester United have already accelerated contacts with the player’s representatives regarding a potential move, as per Fichajes.
Liverpool also keen on Arda Guler
Liverpool are also keeping tabs on Guler. It remains to be seen where he ends up. Liverpool are looking to sign a player who will add more creativity to the side. The Real Madrid midfielder is capable of slotting into multiple roles, and he will help create opportunities for his teammates. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are prepared to sanction his departure.
He is a young player with a lot of potential, but he’s not a regular starter for them. They could be tempted to sell him if there is a concrete proposal on the table.
Meanwhile, the Turkish international needs to play regularly as well. Sitting on the bench at the Spanish club will not benefit him.

If Arsenal or Manchester United can provide him with gametime assurances, they could be an attractive destination for the player. Regular football in the Premier League could bring out the best in him and help him fulfil his potential. It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs follows up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done.
If they can sign the Turkish International for a reasonable amount of money, he could prove to be a bargain in future.
Manchester United are reportedly accelerating contacts with Real Madrid attacking midfielder and Arsenal transfer target Arda Guler.
The talented young Turkey international has long been regarded as one of the finest up-and-coming talents in Europe, and he’s become increasingly consistent and important in this Real Madrid side.
Still, it seems there could be some question marks over his future as Man Utd are said to be stepping up their efforts to bring him to Old Trafford, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
Arsenal and Liverpool are also among the clubs mentioned as suitors for Guler, who has previously been described by Madrid manager Xabi Alonso as “special” and a “natural talent”, as quoted by beIN Sports.
Arda Guler to leave Real Madrid for a transfer to the Premier League?

It remains to be seen if Guler will definitely leave the Bernabeu as it’s hard to see why he’d necessarily push to leave if the club are happy with him.
Fichajes suggest there could be a dilemma for Real if they receive tempting offers for Guler, and it’s fair to say that English clubs often pay big for their signings.
That financial power of the Premier League could end up being crucial, as Guler himself might also sense an opportunity to make more money if he moves to somewhere like United.
The 20-year-old still has a long career ahead of him, though, so if he continues to play regularly in Alonso’s side then he should surely continue to prioritise that development.
It’s easy to see, however, why MUFC might be desperate to try to lure Guler to Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim’s side remain a work in progress, and someone with the kind of spark and creativity that Guler can bring looks like it would make sense as a priority.
It’s not as clear if such a role is really there at Arsenal, though, due to the presence of the likes of Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze, so that probably wouldn’t be the smartest move for him right now if he wants to carry on getting regular playing time.
Arsenal are eyeing both Real Madrid’s Rodrygo Goes and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao as long-term targets in attack, and are not currently seeking to sign a new striker.
As first reported here in my exclusive for the Daily Briefing, Arsenal still have a lot of faith in Viktor Gyokeres after spending big to sign him from Sporting Lisbon in the summer.
As such, the Gunners are not looking for a new centre-forward to replace Gyokeres, but are keeping in mind other attackers who could come in to help the Sweden international.
Sources tell me the names that feature most high up on Arsenal’s list are Rodrygo and Leao, who have long been on the north Londoners’ radar.
Arsenal relaxed about Viktor Gyokeres but eyeing Rodrygo Goes and Rafael Leao
Arsenal have made changes to their attack in recent times, with Gyokeres not the only new addition to Mikel Arteta’s front three over the summer.

Noni Madueke also joined, and has played on both the left and right flanks, while Eberechi Eze has also sometimes been used in a front three when he’s not deputised for Martin Odegaard in a more central role.
Still, Leandro Trossard is not getting any younger, and Gabriel Martinelli has been a little inconsistent, while both Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz have had a lot of injury troubles.
That could leave room for a player of the profile or Rodrygo or Leao to come in and offer something different to help generally improve the strength of that front three.
Leao has mostly shone for Milan so would likely be a popular choice, and the stats below seem to back up that he might have the most all-round qualities to offer in that role…
Gabriel Martinelli stats vs Rafael Leao and Rodrygo Goes (DataMB)
Leao has this season performed best on non penalty goals and expected goals, as well as key passes and assists, though Rodrygo stands out for his dribbles and carries.
It will be interesting to see if either of these players end up being top targets soon, or if Arteta can work out an internal solution to get more out of Gyokeres at centre-forward.
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher looks like he might have absolutely nailed this bold pre-season prediction about Arsenal’s strikers.
An old video has resurfaced on social media after another difficult night last night for Viktor Gyokeres, who has just six goals since joining the Gunners in the summer.
It looked like Arsenal clearly needed a major investment up front after their struggles in that department last season, but Gyokeres hasn’t quite made the impact many fans would have hoped for after being so prolific at his former club Sporting Lisbon.
Jamie Carragher backs Kai Havertz to be Arsenal’s striker
Watch below as the pundit discussed Arsenal’s search for a new striker, making it clear that he felt Kai Havertz would most likely come back in to the starting line up ahead of whoever came in…
This was quite a bold claim, but it now looks like once Havertz is fit again, there’d be a strong case for Mikel Arteta selecting him over Gyokeres.
Even if the Germany international had had his critics during his time at the Emirates Stadium, with debates about if playing up front is even his best position, it would also be fair to say he’s been an underrated part of this side’s success.

Can Viktor Gyokeres turn things around at Arsenal?
Gyokeres has, in fairness, only just come back from an injury, so perhaps he deserves a bit more time to find his best form.
The 27-year-old was an absolute goal machine in Portugal, scoring 97 goals in 102 games at Sporting, so there’s always a chance he’ll rediscover that form here once he’s more settled and confident.
It’s not happening for him at the moment, though, so it will be interesting to see if he can keep his place once Havertz comes back.
Arsenal’s teenage prodigy Max Dowman has suffered a setback in his promising early career after sustaining ankle ligament damage during a recent friendly against Manchester United, according to The Athletic.
The 15-year-old, widely regarded as one of England’s brightest young attacking talents, is expected to be sidelined for around two months, though thankfully, surgery will not be required.
The injury occurred during a behind-closed-doors friendly between Arsenal and Manchester United’s youth sides last week.
Dowman was on the receiving end of a heavy challenge from an opposing defender, which saw him go down clutching his right ankle.
Arsenal star Max Dowman suffers ligament damage
Medical staff immediately assessed the situation, and subsequent scans confirmed ligament damage, but no fracture, a relief for the player and club alike.
Arsenal’s academy doctors have opted for a non-surgical recovery plan, meaning Dowman will undergo an intensive rehabilitation program designed to restore mobility and strength in the joint.
Early assessments suggest he could return to full training by late February, provided his recovery progresses smoothly.
Despite his young age, Dowman has been fast-tracked through Arsenal’s youth ranks thanks to his maturity and potential.
The England youth international has drawn comparisons to players like Phil Foden and Jack Wilshere for his balance, creativity, and ability to dictate play from advanced positions.
Dowman has already featured regularly for Arsenal’s Under-18s this season, and his performances have not gone unnoticed by first-team staff.

The youngster made his Premier League debut this season which shows how much faith Arteta has in his talent.
The Gunners are expected to take a cautious approach to his rehabilitation. Dowman will continue working closely with Arsenal’s medical and performance teams at London Colney, focusing on controlled mobility exercises before returning to light ball work in the coming weeks.
Club insiders have stressed that his recovery will not be rushed, given both his age and long-term potential.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Eintracht Frankfurt full-back Nathaniel Brown.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move away from the German club, and the two London outfits are keen on securing his signature, as per TEAMtalk. It will be interesting to see which of them can get the deal done. He has been an important player for Frankfurt, and he impressed against Barcelona yesterday.
Brown could excel in the Premier League
There is no doubt that he has the quality to play in the Premier League. He could help out at both ends of the pitch. He is a capable defender and quite effective going forward. The opportunity to move to England could be exciting for him. He will want to play for the biggest club in the world, and the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham will be attractive destinations.
However, both clubs have ample depth in the left back department. It will be interesting to see how they accommodate in in the starting lineup if he joins the club. Brown must secure gametime assurance before joining a new team. Sitting on the bench in the Premier League will not benefit him.
He is a top talent with a bright future, and regular football could bring out the best in him. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

Manchester United and Manchester City are monitoring his progress as well. The defender is unlikely to be a chief acquisition. He is likely to cost over £50 million. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal or Tottenham decide to follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done.
A major transfer storm could be brewing in English football, with Manchester United reportedly preparing a sensational move for Arsenal prodigy Ethan Nwaneri.
According to a trusted source on X, the 18-year-old midfielder, long regarded as one of Arsenal’s brightest academy talents, is said to be growing frustrated over his lack of first-team opportunities, a situation United are eager to exploit.
Reports emerging from London suggest that Arsenal may be forced to sell one of their most valuable young players to comply with Premier League financial regulations ahead of next summer.
The Gunners have spent heavily in recent transfer windows, securing big-money signings like Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and others.
Arsenal could be forced to sell an important player
They are now under pressure to balance the books before pursuing further top-tier reinforcements.
At Old Trafford, manager Rúben Amorim is believed to be a huge admirer of Nwaneri’s potential.
Sources close to the Portuguese tactician say he views the teenager as the ideal creative midfielder to build around for the future, comparing his technical intelligence to that of Phil Foden at Manchester City.
Man United have been monitoring Nwaneri for several months and are reportedly ready to make a formal approach if Arsenal show any willingness to negotiate.

If Nwaneri were to make the switch to Old Trafford, it would instantly rank among the most controversial transfers in Premier League history, potentially the biggest direct move between the two clubs since Robin van Persie’s shock transfer in 2012.
Arsenal fans, who have followed Nwaneri’s rise through the Hale End academy since he joined at the age of nine, would be furious at the idea of losing one of their most gifted prospects to a historic rival.
Insiders claim that Nwaneri is “fed up” with his stalled progress and is open to reassessing his future if assurances over playing time aren’t provided soon.
Manchester United are reportedly preparing a sensational raid on rivals Arsenal for teenage prodigy Ethan Nwaneri.
In a development that echoes the bitter departure of Robin van Persie over a decade ago, reports suggest the Gunners may be forced to sacrifice one of their brightest talents to comply with financial regulations, with Man United ready to pounce.
Manchester United eyeing shock move for Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri
According to explosive claims from a trusted source on X, Manchester United have identified Ethan Nwaneri as a primary target for the upcoming transfer window.
As per him, Arsenal are under significant pressure to sell a valuable asset to fund future targets and remain compliant with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
He outlines a potential domino effect at Old Trafford to facilitate the move. In a twist that will stun the United faithful, fan-favorite Kobbie Mainoo could reportedly be “sold or loaned” if the “unthinkable” Nwaneri deal proceeds.
Current Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is said to be a “big admirer” of the 18-year-old midfielder and is keen to bring him to the Theatre of Dreams. The situation is reportedly compounded by the player’s own dissatisfaction.
Despite his high potential, sources claim Nwaneri is “fed up” and feels his “career has stalled hard” due to a lack of game time in North London.
EXCLUSIVE BOMB ? DROPPED:
THIS TRANSFER WINDOW IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE – YOU SAW IT HERE FIRST, HIT THAT FOLLOW BUTTON TO GET TRANSFER NEWS ? FIRST
We understand @Arsenal need to sell a valuable player to fund future targets due to financial rules.

This is not the first time Nwaneri’s future has been the subject of intense speculation. Chelsea have long held an interest in the Hale End graduate.
However, Arsenal managed to fend off the approach at the time. In August 2025, the club announced that Nwaneri had committed his future to the Gunners, signing a new long-term contract that was intended to keep him at the Emirates until 2030.
That the player is now reportedly unsettled just months after signing that deal adds a layer of shock to these emerging links with Manchester United.
Recent transfers between Manchester United and Arsenal
If the transfer materialises, it would undoubtedly be the most controversial switch between the two clubs since Robin van Persie traded the Emirates for Old Trafford in 2012.
That move, which saw the Dutchman fire United to their 20th league title, remains a sore point for Arsenal supporters.
While direct transfers between the two English giants have been rare, the pathway is not entirely closed.
Over the last decade, several high-profile names have crossed the divide:
Ayden Heaven (Arsenal to Man United – 2024/25): The young defender made a low-profile switch from Arsenal’s U21s to Manchester United just last season.
Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal to Man United – Jan 2018): The Chilean forward moved to United in a swap deal, though his time in Manchester famously failed to live up to the hype.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Man United to Arsenal – Jan 2018): The Armenian midfielder went the other way as part of the Sanchez deal, joining Arsenal.
Danny Welbeck (Man United to Arsenal – 2014): Though slightly over a decade ago, the Manchester-born striker’s move to Arsenal on deadline day remains one of the more significant modern transfers between the rivals.
Yan Diomande has been linked with a move away from RB Leipzig in recent months.
According to a report from Fichajes, Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in the player, and he’s likely to cost around €80-100 million.
Yan Diomande is in demand
However, they are not the only two Premier League clubs interested in the player. They will face competition from Arsenal and Manchester City as well. Arsenal, in particular, have made him their priority target for the upcoming summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if the Gunners follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done.
It is no secret that they need more quality on the flanks. Diomande is a versatile winger who is capable of operating anywhere across the front three. He could develop into a key player for Arsenal with the right guidance. The opportunity to join the north London club will be quite exciting for him. Arsenal are fighting for major trophies, and he will be able to compete at the highest level with them.

The 19-year-old has the quality to improve all three teams, and he could develop into a future asset for them. It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs can get the deal done. The player will want to compete at the highest level, and joining some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League will be quite exciting for him.
