Arsenal are expected to seal place in UEFA Champions League top eight away to Girona tonight as Mikel Arteta given fresh hope of signing striker target permanently

Arsenal target Evan Ferguson will leave Brighton before the window shuts, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Gunners are scrambling to add a centre-forward to Mikel Arteta's squad following the season-ending injury to Gabriel Jesus.

Arsenal’s search for a new striker in the current transfer window has taken a new twist after Brighton reportedly made Evan Ferguson available for a permanent sale. The Gunners have already been linked to a host of forward targets, with Gabriel Jesus ruled out for the rest of the season and Bukayo Sako set to be sidelined until early March.

Arsenal have lacked a recognised No 9 to boost their title hopes after putting most of the goalscoring burden on Kai Havertz - and Evan Ferguson would give them a solid option in attack

Arsenal could be given a massive opportunity to sign a striker before the January window closes after being told one of their top targets is available for transfer this month.

Arsenal fans want everybody to know that they are happy with Mikel Arteta. But are they cosplaying? Rival fans not sure.

Arsenal have been linked with Evan Ferguson in the past, and the Irishman could well be the most realistic acquisition for the Gunners in the remainder of this window. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Brighton are willing to allow Ferguson to leave on loan this month, and that several clubs are interested.
