Keep up-to-date with the latest Arsenal transfer news, rumours and gossip, with updates on Sverre Halseth Nypan, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Marcus Rashford.

The January transfer window has been something of a quiet one for Arsenal so far, with few moves for fans to get excited about.

The Gunners appear to be playing the waiting game for the right opportunity to appear before the market slams shut in early February.

Several forwards have been linked with a potential switch to the Emirates Stadium, while exits could be on the cards too.

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

Arsenal eye Sverre Halseth Nypan transfer deal

While immediate options to bolster the ranks are being eyed, Arsenal are also looking with one eye towards the future.

The Gunners will need to keep reinventing themselves, lowering the age profile to keep the squad ticking over in a healthy fashion.

It means bringing some players in through the Hale End Academy, but also looking to land the next up-and-coming stars.

Well according to David Ornstein on the Athletic FC podcast, one starlet on the radar is Svere Halseth Nypan of Rosenborg.

Arsenal are claimed to “really like” the talent shown by the youngster, though they aren’t alone in their transfer interest.

Other top teams have previously been linked with a potential switch, including rivals Manchester United.

As Arsenal look to bolster their wide options in the transfer window, one option who has been linked is Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The Georgian international is facing a potential exit from the side, with just over two years remaining on his contract.

He has previously impressed in Serie A, helping the side win the title and continuing to find the back of the net.

While Arsenal are linked, Fabrizio Romano reports that PSG are in direct contact with Napoli over a move for Kvaratskhelia.

It all depends on whether the Azzurri will agree on the switch or not, but it could add some jeopardy into the move.

Marcus Rashford eyed by Napoli

Another option who has been linked with a transfer to Arsenal this month is Manchester United star Marcus Rashford.

The forward looks set to leave the Red Devils this month on either a loan or permanent deal, creating an opportunity.

While it seems unlikely that Arsenal will be the team he joins, there is still a small chance with how the transfer window develops.

That said though, they won’t be the only ones in the race as L’Equipe reports that Napoli could be open to a move after direct contact.

Any switch could involve the aforementioned Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, which may help create a swap deal opportunity.

It remains to be seen if that will be the case, but it could be something that still impacts Arsenal if they are keeping an eye on Rashford.
