Arsenal ‘prepare move’ for ex-Liverpool sensation amid Youri Tielemans update

Arsenal picked up a big win over the weekend to extend their lead in the top four race.

Mikel Arteta’s men defeated Leeds United 2-1, taking advantage of Tottenham’s draw with Liverpool to move four points clear.

Arsenal are now four points clear of Spurs ahead of the north London derby this week, and that cushion could be vital.

The Gunners are well on their way to Champions League football, but as we wait for the rest of the season to play out, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news.

The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for City star Gabriel Jesus, but according to The Telegraph, Arteta is also keen on Sterling as an alternative.
