According to reports, Arteta remains keen to bring in a back, and Douglas Luiz of Aston Villa has come into his sights.
ESPN reporter Julien Laurens reported that after the failed introduction of Jorginho last year, Arteta was looking for a defender. Sources say Arteta is currently visiting Douglas-Louis in Vera.
This rumor does have some legitimacy. First, Luis meets the age criteria for Arsenal's recent signings, only 23 years old.
Although not very old, he has a wealth of Premier League experience and is currently in his third season at Villa. As a result, he can bring the youth and experience that the team is looking for for for Arsenal.
As a Brazilian player who has played for Manchester City, he also has links with Edu and Arteta.
His contract will then expire in 2023, so Villa may consider selling it to avoid a cash-strapped situation.
With Thomas and Ernenni in the Africa Cup of Nations, Niles could join Roma and the thickness of the midfield began to decline. If the opportunity arises, Arsenal will certainly go all out to bring in a midfielder.
But at this stage, the rumor is limited to one paragraph in an article. If more and more reports appear in the coming weeks, then the matter has some credibility, but there is not much news yet.
According to reports, Aubameyang's team contacted Juventus in front of the winter window.
Juve of Goal.com told team reporter Romeo Agresti that Aubameyang's team claimed to have been in contact with Serie A clubs.
The goalscorer is said to be hoping to return to Italy, having previously played for AC Milan.
On the other hand, Agresti added that all people at Juventus denied such claims. This is very common in transfer rumors, but it is worth noting.
Taking Oba's current difficult situation at Arsenal, his representative is interested in creating any potential transfer connections. They want their customers to look like there's a market for them to push Arsenal or other buyers to act.
Maybe that's all there is to it, but at the moment Juve are the team with the fewest goals in the top half of Serie A, and it's not impossible for them to bring in a goalscorer.
At present, Aubameyang has left the team to prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations with Gabon.
