Mikel Arteta has said that Arsenal are “actively” looking to identify targets in the January transfer window as he admits the side “ideally need some help”. The Arsenal manager said his opinion on the situation was “clear” after losing Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus to hamstring and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.

Arsenal transfer target Sverre Nypan is reportedly negotiating a move to not only the Emirates Stadium but Manchester City too as the Football Manager prodigy flies in for talks on Friday. Last week it was reported that both the Gunners and their Premier League title rivals were leading the race to sign Rosenborg prodigy Nypan.
