Arsenal ground out a vital 1-0 win at Wolves on Saturday, but may feel the match emphasised their need for new additions in January. Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off at Molineux, though Mikel Arteta hinted an appeal could be lodged if the decision isn't overturned. If the youngster's suspension is upheld, though, that will leave the Gunners even thinner for the coming games.
The Gunners are already looking light up front thanks to injuries for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. A number of names have been mentioned, with Benjamin Sesko expected to join in the summer and others linked with January switches. Attack isn't the only area where Arteta could add to his ranks, though, with noise around midfield target Sverre Nypan getting louder. Here are Mirror Football's latest lines from North London.
Newcastle plan to reopen contract talks with Alexander Isak at the end of the season, according to The Telegraph. The Swedish stiker has long been linked with Arsenal, who signed his former Real Sociedad colleague Mikel Merino over the summer. Eddie Howe has consistently argued Isak is not for sale, and the latest reports support that mindset from the manager. It has been suggested that the new deal would be a long-term one for a man who became Newcastle's record signing when he joined in 2022.
Isak scored twice on Saturday as Newcastle beat Southampton to end the day in fifth place. He has 17 league goals this term, with only Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland scoring more. Earlier in the week, reports indicated Arsenal's talks over a Sverre Nypan deal were progressing. However, the Gunners aren't the only ones keen on the Rosenborg star.
