Arsenal linked with double deal

Dani Olmo could be one opportunity as according to reports he could leave Barcelona for free if the club don’t formally register him by midnight on the 31st of December. Barcelona are in financial dire straits apparently and will need to juggle a few things around if they are to solve this problem. Which basically means they need to sell a player or two. Logic suggests they will sell other players rather than risk losing Olmo for free.

According to Sky Sports reporter and Belgian transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri, Arsenal have made contact with Olmo’s representatives already. In case you don’t know, he’s an attacking midfielder/winger.

Switching to a striker, reports suggest Arsenal are set to be offered the chance to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo-Muani next month. The French international, 26, has played just two games this season and would benefit from a loan move elsewhere. (The Sun and Evening Standard) Kolo-Muani is described as being a striker who is able to play on the left and right as well as central.

Unlike the final episode of Gavin and Stacey, I think when the transfer window closes, the feeling of disappointment will be felt by many of us although I’m pretty sure that if Mikel Arteta can bring a player to the club next month, he will.
