Hello again, Gooners! Welcome to our latest update on Arsenal's transfer window activities as the January 2025 market kicks off. With the Gunners looking to bolster their squad, several names have emerged as potential targets. Let's delve into ten reported prospects and assess the likelihood of each transfer happening, rated on a scale from 1 to 10. First up is Benjamin Šeško from RB Leipzig.
As a striker,he's caught Arsenal's eye,but his recently extended contract makes a January move difficult. We rate the likelihood of this transfer at 5/10. Next is Alexander Isak of Newcastle United. A long-term Arsenal target,Isak's transfer seems unlikely with Newcastle hesitant to sell mid-season unless at a steep price, earning this move a 4/10 on the likelihood scale. Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao is a more attainable option.
With a £50 million release clause,Arsenal could secure him, but his loyalty to Bilbao could be an obstacle. Given Arsenal's need for a winger due to Bukayo Saka's injury, this transfer possibility is rated 6/10. Leroy Sané of Bayern Munich would be a high-profile addition, but Bayern's reluctance to part with him mid-season makes this transfer improbable, rated at just 3/10.
Evan Ferguson from Brighton & Hove Albion has been linked with Arsenal, yet Brighton’s hesitance and concerns about his injury record mean this move is also rated at 5/10. Viktor Gyökeres of Sporting Lisbon has shown great form, attracting Arsenal's interest. However,his release clause and Sporting’s mid-season stance lower the chances of a January move to 4/10. Jonathan David from Lille OSC is an appealing target due to his contract situation.
A pre-contract agreement for summer is possible,but a January transfer would require a fee, giving this move a 5/10 likelihood. Marcus Thuram at Inter Milan is crucial to their Serie A ambitions, making a mid-season transfer to Arsenal unlikely,rated at 3/10. Dani Olmo of FC Barcelona recently joined the club and plays a vital role in their plans, making a January switch to Arsenal highly improbable, rated at 2/10.
Lastly,Arda Güler from Real Madrid is a promising talent, but the Spanish giants are unlikely to let him go, especially mid-season,rating this transfer possibility at 3/10. In conclusion, Arsenal's chances of being active in the transfer market seem slim. With promising youngsters like Nwanieri emerging,perhaps sticking with the current squad is the best move for the Gunners.
On a lighter note,there was a peculiar moment at Spurs' pre-match when the PA system played what sounded like a kazoo or an odd trumpet alongside their traditional song, "When the Saints Go Marching In. " However,the amusement faded quickly once the game against Newcastle began, filled with early goals and VAR drama. As for Arsenal's upcoming game at Brighton, a straightforward win would suffice. Who needs entertainment when it's all about securing those crucial points?
Until the next time, adios amigos!
