Arsenal choose priority January signing with Arteta to sacrifice £60m Chelsea target to seal transfer

Arsenal are reportedly open to selling midfielder Martin Zubimendi in January to help fund the signing of a new winger. Mikel Arteta's side are seeking an attacking player capable of carrying the ball up the pitch quickly, but a major departure is required first. Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid have reportedly shown interest in Zubimendi, with Arsenal seeking to recoup at least the £60m fee paid for him.

Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi has reportedly emerged as Arsenal's preferred target for the wing position. However, reports indicate that Bournemouth may be unwilling to complete a deal until the summer window. Other potential wing targets listed by the club include Alex Baena, Endrick, and Antonio Nusa.
