Arsenal ‘enter transfer race’ for in-demand Premier League talent as midfield concern becomes clear

Arsenal will now return to action this week after seeing their Europa League clash with PSV postponed.

The Gunners are not able to host the clash with PSV due to police issues following the passing of the Queen and her upcoming funeral.

Unlike some fixtures this weekend, Arsenal’s clash with Brentford this weekend will go ahead, and Mikel Arteta’s men will be keen to get back to it after seeing last weekend’s game pushed back.

This weekend’s outing will be the last before the international break, and Arsenal will want to go into the break with all three points.

In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news and rumours.

Caicedo links

Arsenal continue to be linked with a move for Brighton star Moises Caicedo.

According to The Mirror, Brighton are readying themselves for interest in the midfielder, who has been excellent in their fine start to the season.

The report claims Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool could all be set to make a January move for Caicedo.

The Gunners need more midfield depth having failed to land Youri Tielemans or Douglas Luiz in the summer window.

Caicedo could be seen as an option, and he is still only 20 years of age, so he could be a wise investment.

Midfield situation

On that topic, Arsenal are being backed to dip into the market to sign a midfielder during the January window.

Journalist Dean Jones believes Arteta is already ‘seeing signs’ that he does not have enough to get through the whole season as things stand.

“I think Arsenal will have to look into the market again,” Jones told GiveMeSport.

“I think we’re already seeing signs that this squad isn’t going to be deep enough, so it will be really interesting once we get to that point and get through the World Cup.”
