Arsenal are gearing up for Saturday’s match against Brighton on the South Coast. Following their impressive comeback victory over Brentford on New Year’s Day, where they triumphed 3-1 in West London, the Gunners remain focused on maintaining consistency in the title race. Currently trailing Liverpool by three wins, Mikel Arteta’s side must stay sharp to close the gap. Meanwhile, here’s the latest news and transfer buzz from the Emirates Stadium.
Williams ‘interest’Arsenal are reportedly still pursuing Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, who is also attracting interest from Barcelona, particularly for a summer move. According to The Mail, Arsenal have the financial capacity to secure a £50 million deal in January, though timing could prove challenging.
First January moveArsenal have completed their first January transfer with Jack Robinson, a 20-year-old academy product, joining League One side Wigan Athletic. Despite making the bench in this season’s Champions League, Robinson was not part of Arteta’s immediate plans and now seeks first-team opportunities elsewhere.
Arteta on scoring formMikel Arteta has praised the recent goal-scoring resurgence of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli. “Perfect timing from both. It’s crucial,” Arteta said. “One of our team’s strengths is the ability to distribute goals across players.”
