EXCL: Arsenal have interest in Premier League star, Martinelli NEEDS to improve, plus can anyone catch Liverpool?

Can we expect movement from Arsenal following Bukayo Saka's injury or will Gabriel Martinelli fill that void?

Matheus Cunha interest makes sense amid Bukayo Saka injury blow

It’s still early days for Arsenal obviously in terms of how they are going to deal without the injured Bukayo Saka.

They got themselves off to a winning start without that talismanic winger, albeit in pretty unconvincing fashion as they edged past Ipswich 1-0 at the Emirates. You would suggest, however, that the two very tricky looking away games at Brentford and Brighton will give us a clearer indication of how they will cope without the England international.

Whatever happens though, I really do feel they have to do all they can in the January transfer window to bolster what now looks like a pretty threadbare attack.

Yes, January is a notoriously difficult window to do decent business in, but it’s not impossible and I would hope that Arsenal have been working very hard behind the scenes to try and identify a couple of opportunities that could give them the boost they need.

I’m not necessarily talking about a big January move. Those sort of moves might have to wait until the summer. But there is certainly scope for the club to do something to fill the void that Saka’s absence will leave behind.
