Title challengers, Arsenal might be in the market to refresh their attack. Victor Boniface is amongst the top names on the London club’s radar. The Nigerian player has already scored 16 goals with eight assists in an excellent season for the German side.

He has been a lifelong Arsenal fan and is on fire for Bayer Leverkusen this season. Xabi Alonso has maximized his goalscoring potential, revealing a deadly force that haunts the Bundesliga defenders.

Mikel Arteta has still struggled to solidify the number 9 position for his team. This is because both the strikers at his disposal Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus, have either been injured or inconsistent in front of goal.

However, a potential transfer might be challenging for the Gunners as Bayer Leverkusen, who currently sits at the top of the Bundesliga, will not let him leave for a small fee. Arsenal might have to wait till the summer transfer window to secure his services as they would expect to earn silverware and accumulate more funds.

Arsenal duo caught in heated argument during Fulham defeat

Tensions flared on the pitch during Arsenal’s recent 2-1 defeat to Fulham as Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes engaged in a heated exchange. The Gunners, seeking redemption from a prior 2-0 loss to West Ham, took an early lead through Bukayo Saka. Rice has been monumental for Arsenal since his arrival but has had a recent slump in form.

However, Raul Jimenez and Bobby Decordova-Reid’s goals turned the tide in Fulham’s favor. In a critical moment with the score leveled at 1-1, Gabriel was seen vociferously communicating with Rice, gesturing “one.” The argument preceded Fulham’s pivotal goal, with Decordova-Reid capitalizing on defensive missteps involving Rice and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

This discord further compounded Arsenal’s struggles, marking their fourth Premier League defeat this season and leaving them in fourth place at year-end, just one point ahead of rivals Spurs. Arsenal will be looking to pick up good form with the New Year.
