DONE DEAL: The first deal is official: Tomorrow, Arsenal will make their first January signing. The club has agreed to a £65 million fee, and the medical shouldn’t take more than 24 hours since the announcement will be made soon

Mikel Arteta wants to improve his team this month, so Arsenal will have to spend an extra £15 million to get their top-choice forward.

This season, the Gunners have had a tough time getting goals in open play, and Arteta has seen a big drop from last year. Last year, Arsenal almost beat Manchester City to win the Premier League. With 88 goals, they set a club record.

But this time, the same players aren’t doing their best, and fans are split over whether new signing Kai Havertz has what it takes to score goals.

La Gazzetta dello Sport says that Edu Gaspar, the sports director, is ready to pay a lot to get Joshua Zirkzee, a star from Bologna, if the north Londoners want him.

The Dutch forward left Bayern Munich for Serie A, but the Bundesliga winners have a £35 million buyback option that they can use. People say that Bologna wants £50 million for Zirkzee.

TEAMtalk thinks that Arsenal probably doesn’t have the money to buy the 22-year-old this month because they would need to sell Eddie Nketiah, who is worth £30 million. Crystal Palace is said to be in the frame.

For Arsenal to stay within the Premier League’s window for making money and staying in business, Nketiah, a great player for Hale End, is a “pure profit.” So, selling a player from the school might be necessary to get a new player this month.

Transfermarkt says Zirkzee is worth €30 million.
