Arsenal Weigh Quiet January as Man City Move for Semenyo and Nwaneri Interest Emerges

Financial constraints after a heavy summer outlay leave scope for only opportunistic, low-cost additions.

Overview

  • Arsenal sit top of the Premier League after a 4-1 win over Aston Villa on December 30.
  • Former Man City financial adviser Stefan Borson told Football Insider the club will likely keep spending minimal in January but could pounce on a roughly £10m opportunity.
  • Manchester City are reported to be in the final stages of a £65m deal for Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo, with Andoni Iraola saying he expects the winger to face Arsenal on Saturday before any move.
  • Ethan Nwaneri’s minutes have dipped and he was left out against Villa, with The Athletic reporting outside interest as Arsenal are understood to be reluctant to part with recently re-signed youngsters.
  • Arsenal have added former Napoli executive Maurizio Micheli to a senior role in their recruitment team.
