Arsenal's echelon centre-back Reikik was selected for the Tunisian national team in preparation for the next Africa Cup of Nations. congratulations!
Reickirk himself does not have a first-team mission, so being drawn has no impact on Arsenal, but it is a rare experience for him personally, and I hope that Raykke can accumulate some experience in the African Cup of Nations!
In fact, there are many young people in the Arsenal echelon who have not yet made their first-team debut for the team, but are already adult internationals, such as: Rekyk, Hein (Estonia), Ballard (Northern Ireland) and Marcelo Flores (Mexico).
Aubameyang has reported to Gabon to prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations and he will certainly not play Arsenal against Manchester City in the New Year's game.
In fact, everyone knows that Oba will not play in this game, and if he has left the team, then even the theoretical possibility will no longer exist.
Oba can't play in the short term anyway, so it's better to report early and change the environment for himself and Arsenal, as for the January transfer, there is no substantive content at present, and it is not certain for the time being.
Former gunnery Joru recently wore an Arsenal-themed Christmas cardigan while being a guest of the RMC.
Although many players have long left, their hearts are still at Arsenal, such as Silly Wave, JJ, Flowers, and Juru...
Joru has not locked in the main force at Arsenal that year, but he and Ebue are the pistachios of the team, very funny, and it seems that it is now entering the commentary industry.
Juru announced his retirement in June 2021 and wishes him success in his new career in the future!
Let's take a look at a few rumors.
ESPN correspondent JL spoke about Arsenal's recruitment program.
JL said Arteta admired Villa striker Watkins' style and ability to play multiple positions in the attacking line, although Arsenal had not yet had direct contact with Villa and a trade was almost impossible to take place in January, but despite this, the Gunners will be keeping a close eye on the Englishman until the summer.
In addition, Isaac, Vlajovich and Lewin are also Arsenal's replacements for Aubameyang, but ESPN also said that North London is well aware that buying Aubameyang's double costs a lot of money, so they have other options.
Arteta, on the other hand, is still looking to acquire a trailing midfielder, and Watkins' Villa team-mate Douglas Luiz (a 23-year-old Brazilian midfielder) is one of Arsenal's targets.
JL news is OK, but his sources are mainly on the French side, and the news on the Arsenal side can only be said to be OK.
Watkins and Lewin are both the best of the local strikers, but they are not cheap, and they feel that there is not much room for growth, and it is better to spend the same money than to look for it from overseas markets.
Vlahović's words, in addition to the Italian media, now gradually there are other countries in the media reporting, but there is still no very reliable news, let's wait and say, moreover, even if Arsenal really wants to sign Vlahović, it may not be able to grab it, many giants are interested in him.
Isaac should also be a long-term goal, but Isaac has just renewed his contract with Real Sociedad until 2026 in the summer, and I am afraid that this guy is not cheap, and in fact, there are not many rumors about him recently.
In terms of midfield, it seems that it is the first time to hear about the connection between Arsenal and Douglas Luiz, let's wait and see, but whether it will buy a midfielder in January is not certain.
The Athletic posted about Arsenal's signing program.
Any acquisition of a new striker by Arsenal in January will depend on the future of Lacazette and Nketiah, and given that there are already four strikers in the Gunners' first team, clearing the way for the next new signing to lead the front line will be crucial work, in addition, the new striker, in addition to being able to act as a shooter, has the ability to take on defensive work, and can pull back the tandem attack, of course, he is willing to constantly put pressure on opponents.
Arsenal's signing of Vlahović will require a lot of effort to convince him, and Isaac and Jonathan David are also long-term targets for the Gunners, but TA said that pursuing any two new forward stars may take longer than January to operate.
In midfield, Arsenal have not yet approached Renato Sanchez, and many of Europe's biggest clubs are watching the midfielder, but Lille's financial situation has improved considerably as they make it to the knockout stages of the Champions League, so even if Sanchez moves, it is more likely to be in the summer of 2022.
Finally, with regard to Kulusevsky, the TA noted that Arsenal admire the rising star, but the Swede is a left-footed player who likes to move on the right and the Gunners are currently unable to offer him such a position within the squad.
Judging from the news of various media, in fact, the rumored people are similar, which shows that although the above-mentioned people may not be the main target, they should indeed be the people who are interested in Arsenal, so everything is possible.
The striker style mentioned by TA is indeed what Arsenal needs: can score goals, can tandem, can participate in defense, can pressure the opponent's defense, with this as a template, in fact, we can roughly circle a target range.
In Sanchez's words, I personally have always felt that he is not a priority target for Arsenal; as for Kulusevsky, I have analyzed it before, whether it is on the side or in the middle, Arsenal actually does not need him, and there is no need to spend tens of millions to buy him, unless Pepe leaves the team. (But even if Pepe leaves the team, there is no need to spend twenty or thirty million to buy a winger, Martinelli has proved that he can play as a regular player in the Premier League, and even Lowe can only come off the bench now...) ）
In short, with the New Year to come to the winter transfer market, let's wait and see, and finally wish all friends a happy new year! Thanks for the support!
