Mikel Arteta
According to reports, Arsenal will support manager Mikel Arteta in the January transfer window by setting aside £50 million to sign two new players. After 11 games, the Gunners lead the Premier League by two points over the defending champions Manchester City.
And despite spending $130 million in the summer to recruit Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner, and Marquinhos, owner Stan Kroenke is prepared to splurge in January.
The Arsenal manager has relied on a core group of 15 players, and he wants to relieve Bukayo Saka and Granit Xhaka of some of their burdens. Douglas Luiz, an Aston Villa player who Arsenal tried to sign late in the summer, has since signed a new, long-term contract.
The 21-year-old midfielder Danilo of Palmeiras, who technical director Edu is familiar with, might potentially be the target of a new move by the Gunners. Due to their participation in the Copa Libertadores throughout the summer, Palmeiras had no interest in trading their star midfielder. However, that position might shift in January, and a better offer of about £26 million might be enough to persuade them to sell.
The top of the league is where Arsenal has dribbled to
On Sunday, Arsenal defeated Leeds United 1-0 in a tense match at Elland Road to maintain their lead in the Premier League with their best-ever start to a season. It was Leeds United’s first home loss of the year.
Arsenal defeated Leeds in a hard-fought match thanks to a goal from Bukayo Saka in the first half. This is the first time in club history that Arsenal has won nine of its first 10 games in a top-flight season. In the 35th minute, against the flow of play, Saka gave Arsenal the lead when he pounced on Martin Odegaard’s through ball and fired from a tight angle over goalkeeper Illan Meslier’s head.
When Gabriel was sent off in stoppage time for kicking out at Bamford, the home team was given another penalty. However, a VAR review revealed that the striker had really knocked the defender to the ground first, so the referee overturned his judgment.
With goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale making four stops and even one tackle during the game, Arsenal managed to stop the onslaught of Leeds raids while failing to generate anything noteworthy in the second half.
