Arsenal is showing interest in Jorrel Hato, a 17-year-old defender from Ajax. Hato, who primarily plays as a left-sided centre-back or left-back, would be a great addition to the team alongside former club-mate Jurrien Timber. However, Arsenal may consider the need for a more experienced player to assist them in the upcoming matches.

The Gunners have their eyes on two long-term defensive targets from the Bundesliga – Nico Schlotterbeck from Borussia Dortmund and Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich. However, the potential financial implications of both deals make them unlikely options for January.

Bournemouth is determined to keep hold of Dominic Solanke, despite interest from Arsenal. Solanke, who is having his best goalscoring season in the Premier League, has also caught the attention of West Ham. However, Bournemouth recently secured Solanke’s future by signing him to a new long-term contract, so they are under no pressure to sell their star striker.
