Today’s top stories:

Ethan Nwaneri marked just his second Premier League start with this well-taken goal, but it wasn’t enough to give Arsenal the win. FT Brighton 1-1 Arsenal [Pictures from Sky Sports]
Arsenal want Matheus Cunha, but he’s now close to a new contract with Wolves, who have been adamant they don’t want to sell in the middle of the season due to being in a relegation battle.
Mikel Arteta on the penalty awarded to Brighton: “I have never seen something like this in my life. I am really disappointed. He touches the ball as well! I checked on the penalty… after three seconds they said they already checked. It seems quick!”
Arteta: “Unfortunately we lost Nwaneri with an injury. Kai Havertz tried but was really honest and said ‘I can’t even travel’, and he wasn’t able to train.”

Jaden Philogene is expected to leave Aston Villa on loan this January as talks have already started over his departure. Unai Emery has also confirmed that his exit is a concrete option.
