January 2nd 2025.
According to recent reports, Mikel Arteta has set his sights on a new addition to Arsenal's January transfer wishlist. The Gunners are rumored to be interested in signing Republic of Ireland's very own Evan Ferguson during the upcoming transfer window. It seems that Arsenal is in need of a new wide attacker and forward, and Ferguson has caught their attention as a potential target.
Interestingly, Manchester United was previously linked to the talented 20-year-old from Brighton. Despite scoring only one goal in 12 Premier League games this season, Ferguson has shown great potential and caught the eye of many clubs. However, he has faced some challenges with an ankle injury and has seen limited playing time due to the impressive performances of Danny Welbeck and Joao Pedro.
With this in mind, Arsenal is hoping to capitalize on the situation and secure a deal for Ferguson in January, as reported by talkSPORT. However, they are not the only Premier League side interested in the young striker. Both Fulham and West Ham have also expressed interest in potentially signing him.
It is worth noting that Brighton is currently looking to include a permanent obligation clause if they decide to let Ferguson go on loan in January. This means that the Gunners will have to carefully consider their options and potentially make a permanent move for the talented striker.
In addition to Ferguson, Arsenal is also considering other options for their striker position. Some of the names that have been mentioned include RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, and Wolves' Matheus Cunha. However, their top priority seems to be Newcastle United's superstar, Alexander Isak.
In fact, former Arsenal and England midfielder Paul Merson has urged his old club to "break the bank" and make a move for the Swedish sensation. He believes that Isak is the best of the best and would take Arsenal to another level. Merson also acknowledges that Gabriel Jesus has been performing well for the Gunners, but he believes that Isak would be a significant addition for next season as well.
In conclusion, it seems that Arsenal has their sights set on Evan Ferguson and Alexander Isak as potential signings for their striker position. It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the upcoming transfer window, and whether the Gunners will be able to secure these talented players. Sorry, Newcastle fans!
