Douglas Luiz stays Arsenal’s prime goal
It’s additionally necessary to say guys that accidents aren’t serving to Arsenal both, with Thomas Partey’s state of affairs guaranteeing that Arsenal will nonetheless take a look at midfielders within the January switch window.
I discussed the title of Douglas Luiz final week as the highest goal for Arsenal, and I can affirm guys that Arsenal actually, really need and respect Douglas Luiz. He’s a participant they’ve had on their record for greater than two years, and Arsenal take into account him the proper midfielder for his or her means of enjoying, for his depth and for the standard he can deliver. So many alternative components make him prime of the record for Arsenal now.
The issue stays that Aston Villa haven’t any intention to let him go in January, so it’s going to be actually troublesome. It can take a extremely necessary proposal to tempt Aston Villa, so one thing not straightforward in any respect. However, for certain, Douglas Luiz is in Arsenal’s record and is a midfielder for the current and the longer term. Let’s see if they may be capable of make it occur in January or they’ve to take a look at one other answer in midfield.

Chelsea are searching for a centre-back however Badiashile is completely a part of Chelsea’s plans. For Milan, they must spend €35m-€45m and that’s one thing in January that they’ll’t and gained’t do.
In different information…
Ivan Toney – Brentford will strive any method to preserve Ivan Toney in January after which promote him in the summertime. It’s nonetheless not clear if this will probably be attainable however they may strive. I’m not conscious of any exact data on launch clauses and a brand new take care of Brentford as of as we speak. As of now, there’s solely curiosity from Arsenal and Chelsea, nonetheless no concrete negotiations.
Timo Werner – Regardless of rumours, I’ve to say no, truthfully, I didn’t hear that he’s being supplied to different golf equipment. Some Premier League golf equipment have requested about his state of affairs because it’s not a simple time for him at Leipzig, however I don’t have any affirmation but on membership names because it’s purely early phases, nothing concrete but.
Man United – Paul Mitchell stays the favorite for the sporting director publish, sure. There are extra candidates within the body however Mitchell has all the time been the primary alternative since day one. The announcement is predicted subsequent week, then they may make a closing determination on a brand new director.
Marcos Leonardo – He’ll depart Santos in January and the value could possibly be round €20m, but it surely’s an advanced package deal that might embody add-ons, proportion on future sale and so forth. Roma needed him final August however they’d three bids rejected, and now it’s a really open race.
Barcelona – Barça are 100% behind Xavi at this stage, nothing has modified. All of them assist the supervisor and belief him for the current and future mission. Additionally he prolonged his contract just some weeks in the past.
Albert Gudmunsson – I’m not mentioning particular golf equipment because it’d be disrespectful on the day he indicators a brand new deal at Genoa, but in addition there’s actually nothing now – simply scouting exercise. Golf equipment from the Premier League and Bundesliga have despatched their individuals many occasions to comply with him, and his new deal at Genoa is to assist them to get good cash on any future sale – in addition to giving him a much bigger wage.
