The agent of Joao Felix is in talks with multiple clubs right now - and Fabrizio Romano has explained why a move to Arsenal would be excellent business.

In his time in the Spanish capital, he only has 33 goals from 129 appearances. It’s the moment of meetings and discussions. However, the attacker seemingly is keeping all options open with the next phase of his career seen as key. The Gunners are looking for attacking reinforcements in light of injury to Gabriel Jesus. “His agent is speaking to many clubs. A number of Premier League clubs are being strongly linked with Manchester United perhaps the most commonly mentioned.

Thomas Lemar hope, Marco Asensio twist - Five free transfers ... (Football.London)

The January transfer window presents a chance for Arsenal to agree pre-contracts with overseas players in the final months of their contracts, including the ...

After never making an official move in the summer, Arsenal may be tempted to make a move for Asensio next month to secure a very impressive free transfer. An attractive feature of Lemar is his natural ability to take up a number of positions on the pitch. Lemar has played 57 games in the competition across his time with Atletico and AS Monaco. But here we are and the Spanish forward looks certain to end after nine years at the club. Since his move from Lyon, Depay has struggled to replicate the same form he showed in France and with PSV. But with his deal expiring in 2023, Depay could be a case of being patient to land his signature. The arrivals of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha along with injuries have seen Depay pushed out of the starting XI and he could leave Spain in next month's window. Should talks go well, pre-contracts can be agreed ahead of a summer move at the end of the players' current deal. Rivals Tottenham have also been credited with interest but Antonio Conte looks set to miss out on the defender. Next month has been heavily discussed as a colossal opportunity for the club to bolster Arteta's squad to give them every chance of competing with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. The 2022/23 season is temporarily on pause due to the Qatar World Cup but when domestic football resumes on Boxing Day, all eyes will be on Arsenal ahead of their first title race in six years. The January transfer window will be one of the most highly-anticipated at Arsenal in some years.

The latter, 21, plies his trade for Palmeiras and is sizing up a move to Europe. However, he didn’t receive a single minute of action and was overlooked by Tite for Qatar. Arsenal pushed hard to sign Douglas Luiz last summer and lodged three separate bids. Mykhaylo Mudryk is the name most frequently linked with bolstering Arteta’s options in the final third. The forward line was already in focus prior to Gabriel Jesus’ knee surgery. Two areas of Mikel Arteta’s squad are expected to be addressed next month.

Arsenal's owners could soon be fending off interest from their biggest takeover threat yet after India's richest man emerged as a potential buyer.

[Arsenal](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/) back on track after years of stagnation, a fresh takeover threat appears to be looming in the background. The Ambanis have also been linked with Liverpool after experts claimed that they were making a shift into football having previously targeted Cricket, bagging the rights to stream the IPL for $2.6billion (£2.1billion) back in June. You would have to say no right now. The Kroenke's made it absolutely clear that they had no interest nor plans to sell up, and that their project in north London was only just getting started. It was somewhat of a smart move by Spotify founder Daniel Ek, but one which turned out to be very short-lived. [Stan Kroenke’s](https://www.football.london/all-about/stan-kroenke) worth is $12.9billion (£10.4billion), that’s quite the difference, a $77.8billion (£63.2billion) gap in fact.

Arsenal 2 - 1 AC Milan - Match Report (Arsenal.com)

Martin Odegaard and Reiss Nelson got on the scoresheet as we clinched the Dubai Super Cup.

They won a free-kick near the byline and England defender Fikayo Tomori was left unmarked in front of goal to head home. Mohamed Elneny sent a long-range shot just over before Vieira was also just off target when set up by Nelson. But the initial shot was on target, and Nelson was certainly claiming it. After soaking up the pressure, we opened the scoring in fine style. But it was the Italian giants, currently sitting second in Serie A, who looked more dangerous in the early exchanges. Thomas Partey and Ben White were both named in the starting line-up for the first time after returning from the World Cup in Qatar, as our return to Premier League action on December 26 hovered into view.

After seeing his side beat AC Milan 2-1 to claim the Dubai Super Cup, Mikel Arteta headed to the post-match press conference to face the gathered media.

We’ve been lucky because we’ve brought a lot of kids here, but what they have done is not only maintain the standards, but increase them, so I want to say thank you so much to them because they have been key in this camp to have a successful period in training and compete in the competition. The good thing we have is that everyone has been showing that they are desperate to get back, and they want to be ready as quickly as possible and it was great to have those two back today playing some minutes. We have to raise the standards. We have to put them in those scenarios so that we can develop our players.
