Arsenal Eyes Player Sales to Fund High-Profile Transfer Target

 

 

 

Arsenal is reportedly gearing up to offload three notable players as part of a bold plan to secure their top transfer target.

 

 

 

Sources indicate that manager Mikel Arteta is prepared to part ways with a player who has made 79 appearances for the club, with the aim of bringing in a UEFA Champions League winner as a replacement. A major departure during the January transfer window could enable Arsenal to invest in a marquee striker, should the right opportunity arise.

 

 

 

One potential target is Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak, though the Swedish international’s price tag, reportedly around £150 million, presents a significant hurdle. To raise the necessary funds and streamline the squad, Arsenal is contemplating the sale of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior, the latter having voiced frustrations over limited playing time.

 

 

 

Recent reports suggest Zinchenko may soon leave after a public fallout with Arteta. The Ukrainian defender, who joined from Manchester City in 2022, initially played a crucial role as an inverted full-back but has seen his role diminish in Arteta’s system.

 

 

 

This season, Zinchenko has struggled for regular minutes, managing just two Premier League starts and only one appearance since the opening weekend. Arteta has increasingly relied on other options in Zinchenko’s position, notably sidelining him in key fixtures like the recent FA Cup match against Manchester United.

 

 

 

The arrival of Riccardo Calafiori last summer signaled Arsenal’s intent to bolster their left-back options. However, injuries to both Calafiori and Zinchenko have created opportunities for emerging talents such as Myles Lewis-Skelly, who has impressed and earned more game time.

 

 

 

As interest in Zinchenko grows, Arsenal is actively exploring his sale to gain the financial flexibility required to make a significant move in the ongoing transfer window.

Manager Mikel Arteta recently shared that Calafiori’s availability remains uncertain but hinted at a possible return for the Wolves game on Saturday, January 25. Thomas Partey The midfield dynamo, often plagued by injuries, is currently nursing a thigh strain. Partey’s absence has left a noticeable void in Arsenal’s midfield stability. Arteta remains hopeful he can rejoin the squad by early February. Gabriel Jesus The Brazilian forward has been recovering from a knee issue that has kept him out for weeks.

The coaching staff has projected a potential comeback by late February, though his progress will be closely monitored.
