Edu sends Stan Kroenke message ahead of January transfer window as Arsenal plan emerges
A sense of Déjà vu is lingering around Arsenal ahead of the January transfer window. The Gunners are top of the Premier League table with a real chance of becoming English champions for the first time since 2004.
Mikel Arteta's men fell short in the late stages of the 2022/23 campaign with Manchester City's pedigree and experience in title races seeing them pip the north Londoners. 12 months later and England's top flight is in a similar state.
The festive period is well underway and Arsenal lead the way, again. Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolves means the Gunners moved two points clear of Liverpool and three above Man City.
With the January transfer window approaching, work behind-the-scenes is well underway in adding potential reinforcements to Arteta's side. Many central defenders have been linked to add competition to William Saliba while a move for a holding midfielder continues to be tipped amid Thomas Partey's injury issues.
A new centre-forward has also been heavily linked with Arteta reportedly keen on adding eitherIvan Toney and Victor Osimhen. Just like last year, there's emphasis on the January window being a big opportunity to bring success to the Emirates Stadium.
It's expected to be a busy opening month of the new year. And technical director Edu Gaspar faces another test of his calibre in the transfer market.
