Arsenal appear to be in the market for a right-winger in the January transfer window as they attempt to shore up their squad for the upcoming Premier League title challenge. The Gunners have been heavily reliant on the availability and quality of Bukayo Saka there for a few years now
It’s little shock that the Hale Ender has become the superstar he has, starting every match he possibly can and often walking away with a goal involvement of some kind. However, there have been growing concerns regarding his minutes and whether he is being overworked.
At just 22-years-old, Saka has already played over 14,000 minutes of action for the Gunners across all competitions for the first-team. Add to that the recent bouts of injuries that have brought about plenty of concerns, having missed the most recent clash with Manchester City.
It has seen some options linked with creating competition on the right-wing to help rotate Saka more often and keeps the quality high. With that said, here’s a look at three options that have been linked with Arsenal in a shortlist and what they can offer the team.
Having followed him for a few years now, Wolves star Pedro Neto is an option for the Gunners in the January transfer market. At just 23-years-old, there’s still plenty of untapped potential in the Portuguese winger that is starting to show in his most recent performances.
There may be slight concerns over two areas, the first being cost as Neto has become a key player for Wolves and could see them request a high fee – especially in a market such as January. The second concern regards injury troubles as the talisman has often faced long spells out, but there will be hopes he is past that now.
