Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing a 'superstar' winger during the January transfer window amid concerns over Gabriel Martinelli's form.

The 23-year-old started the one-goal defeat in the Premier League at St James' Park versus Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon, when the Gunners' title hopes suffered a major blow.

Despite being known for their proficiency at attacking in crossing situations at the other end, Arsenal conceded the only goal of the contest due to an Alexander Isak header.

Martinelli started the match but failed to impress in the North-East battle, replaced in the second half by 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri on the 61st minute.

Appearing in 10 Premier League matches so far during 2024-25 - including seven starts - the Brazilian has scored two goals and provided two assists.

Arsenal plotting winger signing in January?

According to Football Insider, Arsenal are finalising their transfer strategy ahead of the upcoming January transfer window in under two months time.

The report claims that the Gunners are now targeting the acquisition of a 'superstar' winger in order to bolster their attacking ranks significantly.

It is understood that Mikel Arteta wants to recruit a forward who would become the first-choice option on the left flank immediately in the New Year.

The Gunners are attempting the bridge to gap to current Premier League holders Manchester City and Arne Slot's Liverpool in the title race.

After 10 matches of the new campaign, Arsenal are occupying fifth in the top-flight table, seven points behind league leaders Liverpool.

Who could Arsenal sign in January?

Despite Martinelli being liked at the Emirates, there is supposedly a feeling that the club could do with a winger who can deliver more end product in terms of goals and assists.

It has been stated that the Gunners are plotting a pre-contract agreement with Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane, who has experience in the Premier League due to his trophy-laden spell at Man City.

It is also believed that Brentford talisman Bryan Mbuemo has been considered as a big-money addition in the New Year by the Gunners, who are currently off the pace in the title race.

The Cameroon international has enjoyed a sensational start to the Premier League season, bagging eight goals across 10 starts for Thomas Frank's Bees. body check tags ::
