Arsenal are set to delve into the January transfer window for a short-term fix in attack following Gabriel Jesus’ sustained injury in the World Cup. Arsenal are reportedly set to revive their interest in FC Porto striker Mehdi Taremi ahead of the January transfer window as a replacement for Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian forward faces a period out of action after sustaining a knee injury whilst at the World Cup meaning the Gunners may have to recruit a short-term fix.Mikel Arteta’s men are top of the Premier League table after 14 games and have Gabriel Jesus to thank for his individual performances since moving from Manchester City. The 25-year-old has scored five goals and provided another six assists and has formed a strong frontline with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. However, Arteta was handed a major blow to his side’s title chances last week when the club confirmed he would be sidelined after undergoing surgery on a knee injury. The injury to Jesus leaves Eddie Nketiah as t...

Christian Pulisic showcased ‘so much speed and explosiveness’ during the USA’s World Cup triumph over Iran, former Netherlands ace Ibrahim Afellay tells NOS of a winger linked with Premier League duo Arsenal and Newcastle United. With Pulisic struggling at Chelsea, Sergino Dest hardly kicking a ball in anger at AC Milan, and Weston McKennie so often the subject of criticism at Juventus, the USA’s so-called ‘Golden Generation’ hardly travelled to Qatar in the greatest of spirits. But Pulisic’s dramatic first-half winner against Iran on Tuesday night – firing Gregg Berhalter’s side into the round-of-16 – was undeniable proof that class is, indeed, permanent. “If you see how he attacks, he has so much speed and explosiveness,” hails former Barcelona and Ajax whizzkid Afellay. “(The USA) have a lot of speed in the attack.” ARSENAL OR NEWCASTLE UNITED COULD SIGN CHELSEA’S USA STAR CHRISTIAN PULISIC Pulisic was forced off at half-time, injured while scrambling the only goal of the game ...

Arsenal could submit a second bid after the World Cup group stages as they step up their attempts to sign the key midfield target. According to Jorge Nicola, Arsenal are set to submit a new bid to sign key target Danilo. Palmeiras have stood firm despite heavy interest from the Gunners, but they might have no choice but to let the player go if the pressure increases. Arsenal are not giving up on the Danilo chase anytime soon, with interest from the north Londoners consistently increasing. The Palmeiras midfielder has remained on their shortlist since last January, but the north Londoners have yet to find an agreement with the Brazilian side. The 21-year-old midfielder has not publicly stated his desire to sign for the Gunners, but widespread reports in the Brazilian media tend to link Arsenal with Danilo. Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar want to sign the defensive midfielder and solve a position that needs strengthening. Arsenal reportedly submitted a bid around early September, but Pal...

Mykhaylo Mudryk has been constantly linked with a move to Arsenal after breaking through at Shakhtar Donetsk. Shakhtar Donetsk manager Igor Jovicevic has urged his star player Mykhaylo Mudryk to resist leaving the club for Arsenal in January and to continue his development in Ukraine. Mudryk has long been admired by the Gunners after busting on to the scene with Shakhtar. The 21-year-old has warranted interest from across Europe after being involved in 18 goals in 18 games this season – including five goal involvements in six Champions League games. Rumours intensified earlier this month when Mudryk went on record to reveal that he keeps track of the Gunners’ results and admires the way Mikel Arteta’s men play football. However, technical director Edu may be forced to deploy his most efficient negotiation skills to lure Mudryk to north London after Shakhtar’s Director of Football Dario Srna insisted it would take close to £90 million acquire his services. Now, as we approach the J...

Former Arsenal keeper David Seaman has urged his old side to sign Cristiano Ronaldo after he left Manchester United, insisting the striker is ‘far from done. ‘The 37-year-old has left Old Trafford after giving an explosive interview with Piers Morgan that saw him criticise United, manager Erik ten Hag and the Glazers. Seamen felt there could be a challenge for him at one of United’s main rivals, as he explained on Talk TV: ‘Ronaldo is far from done and he would be perfect for Arsenal.’ The Portugal man has been heavily criticised for giving such an explosive interview, but Seamen showed some sympathy, saying: ‘I would applaud him because he’s obviously talking the truth. A lot of the stuff he came out with, is not stuff we haven’t heard.’ ‘We have heard a lot of other experienced players moaning and criticising Man United for the way the ground is and the training. ”That shocked me and that shouldn’t be happening. He’s been all around the world and seen how everywhere has progress...
