Arsenal find Thomas Partey replacement and lock in on £70m striker

Arsenal are now looking ahead to Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup clash with Crystal palace, which is the first of two games against the Eagles this week. The two London clubs go head-to-head again this weekend in the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta’s men will want to progress in the cup, but there is no doubting that their focus is the Premier League and getting back into the title race. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Emirates Stadium.

Sevilla star of interest

Arsenal are said to be interested in a deal to sign Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume as they contemplate replacing Thomas Partey and/or Jorginho. Both players are out of contract in the summer, and a decision has not yet been made on the futures of those players.

In the meantime, Football Transfers say Sevilla star Agoume is being lined up by Arsenal as a possible replacement. The 22-year-old has emerged as a hard-working talent in midfield having joined the Spanish club from Inter Milan.

Muani links

Arsenal are in need of a striker as they look to take the next step in their title chase. The Gunners have resisted signing a proven goalscorer over recent years, but it seems they will finally have to give into the temptation sooner rather than later.

The Boot Room claim the Gunners are interested in a move for PSG frontman Randal Kolo Muani ahead of January. PSG boss Luis Enrique is reportedly willing to allow Muani to leave in January, and Arsenal could take advantage. The 26-year-old joined PSG on a deal worth up to £70million in 2023, but he has only scored eight goals in 36 league games since arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt. The 27-year-old France international is not likely to be cheap despite that, and especially not in the January window.
