Arsenal could be given a massive opportunity to sign a striker before the January window closes after being told one of their top targets is available for transfer this month.

Mikel Arteta has said that Arsenal are “actively” looking to identify targets in the January transfer window as he admits the side “ideally need some help”. The Arsenal manager said his opinion on the situation was “clear” after losing Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus to hamstring and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.

Arsenal target Evan Ferguson will leave Brighton before the window shuts, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Gunners are scrambling to add a centre-forward to Mikel Arteta's squad following the season-ending injury to Gabriel Jesus.
