Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd deal agreed, Joao Palhinha to Liverpool, Arsenal shortlist


Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is shopping for a centre-forward in January – but new reports claim he’s planning to make four signings to complete his squad.

Miguel Delaney, in his weekly Independent newsletter, says Arteta wants another central midfielder, two full-backs and another forward to complete his contingent.

It is unclear how many of these signings the Gunners will chase next month but the forward appears the top priority.

The report adds that Arsenal are somewhat hesitant about signing Toney given he will only return from a lengthy suspension mid-way through January.

They are concerned that he may not be able to make as fast an impact as desired at the Emirates because of his time out.
