Catch all the latest Arsenal transfer news, including updates on Victor Osimhen, Matheus Cunha and Elye Wahi.

Arsenal are heading into the final few weeks of the January transfer window, with the side still looking at completing a few deals.

The potential for incoming signings is likely to come from the forward department, with the Gunners hopeful of adding a new winger or centre-forward to the mix.

There could be a few exits on the cards too, with plenty of players receiving interest from elsewhere amid uncertain futures.

So with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours.

Fabrizio Romano hints at Matheus Cunha to Arsenal update

Arsenal appeared to be facing an uphill battle over a potential transfer for Wolves star Matheus Cunha in the January transfer window.

The forward appeared set to sign and seal a new contract with the Old Gold, but there may be a twist in the tale.

That’s because according to Fabrizio Romano, the situation surrounding Cunha is one still to “be monitored” in the remaining weeks of the window.

There is a hold-up over some final details, though the journalist goes on to hint that Arsenal are attentive to the situation, along with a whole host of clubs.

Arsenal make ‘contact’ for Victor Osimhen transfer

As Arsenal continue to scour the market for new centre-forward options in January, the name Victor Osimhen has popped up once again.

The Gunners have previously been linked with a switch for the Nigerian international, who joined Galatasaray on loan in the summer from Napoli.

A break clause seemingly exists this month that could allow Osimhen to leave the Turkish giants in search of a new challenge.

With that in mind, Football Insider reports that Arsenal have “made contact” over a potential dramatic transfer for the striker.

It’s claimed that the interest is only in the early stages though, which is likely to have a huge impact on any move in the next few weeks, depending on how quickly the move could happen.

Arsenal handed Elye Wahi transfer blow

Another striker recently on the radar of Arsenal in the January transfer window is RC Lens forward Elye Wahi.

The 22-year-old is rumoured to be on the radar of the Gunners, but Manchester City could cause problems in that chase.

That’s because, according to Florian Plettenberg, Eintracht Frankfurt are now in the race for Wahi to replace the City-bound Omar Marmoush.

With talks already underway, the move could be sealed before Arsenal even get a chance to make their move.
