Gunners icon would like 43-goal Seria A star brought to Arsenal in January
Gunners icon Ian Wright and has told Mikel Arteta the the players he should look to bring to ARSENAL in the January window, as he would like Atalanta star Ademola Lookman to be brought to the Emirates.
Arsenal have had a stuttering start to the season with some brilliant performances keeping their hopes of a Premier League title alive, while some dodgy performances have meant that Chelsea and Liverpool have kept that gap between the sides.
Arsenal have two weeks to go until they can start signing players again and Mikel Arteta will be eyeing a few deals that will get his team fighting closer to Liverpool and Chelsea for the Premier League title.
And if Arsenal need further attacking options to target in January they might want to take some advice from club legend Ian Wright – who believes he has identified Lookman as a potential signing for the Gunners in January.
He’s got 11 goals from the wing this season, meaning the forward has a total of 43 strikes from 96 appearances so far. Wright went on to pass on his congratulations to Lookman, who was named the African Player of the Year after an outstanding 12 months with Atalanta and Nigeria.
On the prospect of Arsenal signing Lookman, Wright continued: ‘Yeah, but the thing is, that’s like a real wish.
‘African Player of the Year, congratulations! He looked amazing. Congratulations, Ademola.
‘Great story. I saw a little documentary on him and it was so uplifting, his journey, so congratulations to him.’
However despite all the transfer speculation, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta recently moved to dampen fans’ expectations for the January transfer window: ‘I never expect January to be super busy, but we have to wait and see where we are,’ the Spaniard told reporters.
‘Some surprises can come, we are prepared for that, some opportunities as well, and we have to see.
‘Hopefully the squad availability is going to be better in a few weeks so we will have to wait and see.’
