Arsenal leads the Premier League on Christmas Day for the second year in a row after avoiding defeat against Liverpool at the weekend. However, the Gunners’ work is far from done.
Mikel Arteta’s men are one point ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa, and six ahead of Manchester City, who do have a game in hand. So far, so good, but Arsenal still has a lot of work to do.
With the January transfer window opening in seven days, technical director Edu Gaspar will have his work cut out for him this winter in order to bolster Arteta’s options for a crucial second half of the season.
A center-forward, a holding midfielder, and a creative attacker have all been predicted to be among the best.
according to reports, a move for Manchester City star Bernardo Silva may be on the cards.
The Gunners are believed to have the option to sign the Portuguese international due to a release clause in his contract at the Etihad Stadium. According to the Daily Star, Silva has a £50 million buyout clause that was added during negotiations with City.
Convincing Silva to leave the world champions will be difficult, according to the report, as any bids would be deemed ‘pointless’ by City. The aforementioned buyout clause was only agreed upon following previous speculation about his future.
