With the January transfer window on the horizon, Arsenal are aiming to beat European competitors for Arthur Vermeeren, Florian Wirtz, and Ivan Toney’s signatures.

As the January transfer window draws near, Arsenal are reportedly making significant strides in the pursuit of Arthur Vermeeren, the 18-year-old talent from Royal Antwerp, edging ahead of Barcelona with a proposed bid of €15 million.

Vermeeren’s impressive form has not only caught the eye of the Gunners but also led to his call-up to the Belgian national team, where he recently debuted. His contract with Royal Antwerp is secure until 2026, yet Arsenal’s financial strength may see the club succeed where Barcelona, now eyeing Corinthians’ Gabriel Moscardo, hesitates.

Simultaneously, Arsenal finds themselves in a transfer tussle with local rivals Tottenham Hotspur for Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz.

The 20-year-old midfielder, managed by Xabi Alonso, has been a sensation in the Bundesliga, contributing significantly to Leverkusen’s campaign.

Despite his high valuation of €80 to €100 million and interest from clubs like Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, Arsenal’s positive history with Leverkusen could play a crucial role in potential negotiations.

In the English top-flight, Brentford’s Ivan Toney has emerged as another target for Arsenal, with Chelsea also keen on the striker.

Thomas Frank, Brentford’s manager, has publicly expressed his wish for Toney to “stay forever” at the club, highlighting his importance.

Despite this, the £100 million valuation placed on Toney has not deterred interest, with reports suggesting the player himself is open to a move to the Gunners.

To add to this compelling narrative, Arsenal is also linked with Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez, a 22-year-old forward with an outstanding goal-scoring record.

The Mexican’s success in the Eredivisie has attracted attention from several European giants, setting the stage for a potential record-breaking Eredivisie transfer.
