Arsenal transfer news: Gunners 'scout new striker' as January bid considered
Share:
Arsenal will spend Christmas Day sat third in the Premier League, with Mikel Arteta's side six points behind top of the table Liverpool. The Reds also have a game in hand over their rivals after the Merseyside Derby was postponed earlier this month due to Storm Darragh. As a result, Arsenal may look to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window and their hand may be forced after it emerged that star man Bukayo Saka is facing several months out of action with a hamstring injury.
There could also be some outgoings as Arsenal look to move on fringe players like Kieran Tierney, who has played just one game so far this season. Here are Mirror Football 's latest lines from around the Emirates Stadium. According to CalcioMercato, Arsenal are considering a move for Atalanta and Italy striker Mateo Retegui.
Arsenal are in the market for a new goalscorer and have been heavily linked with the likes of Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres in recent months. However, Retegui has now emerged as a potential alternative, with it claimed Arsenal sent scouts to watch him in action last month.
Retegui has scored 14 goals for Atalanta in 25 appearances across all competitions so far this season, having only joined the club from Genoa over the summer in a deal worth a reported €28million (£23m). Arsenal are among several clubs interested in signing Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell, according to Spanish outlet Sport.
