Romano reveals ‘positive’ €35m Bayern Munich enquiry

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta wants to move two of his current squad on in January, while Fabrizio Romano has revealed an enquiry for another Gunners star, reports football365.com.

The Gunners brought in loads of new players in the summer transfer market with Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze and Piero Hincapie all joining.

That has left Arteta with a slightly bloated squad in certain positions and now the Arsenal head coach is looking to move on two of his first-team players.

Spanish website Fichajes has revealed the two players Arteta ‘wants out’ as Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus with Arsenal ‘willing to listen to offers’ for the duo.

Jesus has been injury prone during his time at the Emirates Stadium, while Trossard has been knocked down the pecking order in north London due to new signings.

Arsenal’s ‘plan is to bring in a significant amount of money in January’ with the sales of Trossard and Jesus likely to ‘balance the books’ over the winter.

The report adds: “Teams from Serie A, Ligue 1, and even the Saudi Pro League could submit formal offers as soon as the transfer window opens. The asking price will not be low, as both players remain under contract and have proven experience.”

Gabriel Martinelli is another player to have been linked away from Arsenal in the summer transfer window amid the additions of Eze and Madueke – but the Brazilian stayed put.

When asked about the additions at Arsenal and his future, Martinelli responded on international duty: “Regarding Arsenal, it’s like here in the national team. If you ask me if it’s good to have Vini or Rodrygo in the national team, I’ll definitely say yes.
