Live bar January 14 News The Daily Telegraph reported that Arsenal are currently waiting for Juventus to release Artur, leaving the Gunners with only one adult midfielder left in Lokunga.
Arsenal have been in intensive talks with Juve about going on loan to Artur until the end of the season, but Juve want to let the Brazilian midfielder go after finding a replacement. Arsenal superintendent Edu is doing everything in his power to speed up the deal as Arteta is currently almost unavailable in midfield.
Xhaka received a red card in the League Cup against Liverpool, Erdegaard tested positive for COVID-19, Thomas and Herneny competed in the Africa Cup of Nations and Niles has moved to Roma, meaning Arteta was left with only one adult midfielder left in the North London derby this weekend.
As for Artur himself, he is willing to switch to Arsenal. Arsenal hope to finalize the introduction of Artur as soon as possible, but even if the transfer finally happens, he should not be able to catch up with Tottenham.
In addition, the Telegraph pointed out that Arteta may use the rising star Pattino in the match against Tottenham, or arrange for Chambers, Ben White and others to make cameo appearances at the back. Arteta could also wait for Smith Rowe to recover from his injury in time, or to take Sakhane into the middle.
