Gakpo’s versatility means he can play across the frontline, giving Saka and Martinelli the opportunity to rest when needed but not decrease the quality on the pitch.Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth says Arsenal are interested in Gakpo but suggests a summer move for the £38million-rated star would be more likely. He said: ‘Arsenal is an interesting one, because, throughout the transfer window, I think the right side of the attack was a priority position.”Now, Gakpo’s priority position, and preferred position, is on the left, but he can play in the centre and he can play on the right. At the moment, Saka’s occupying that right side of the front three just now.”He would be someone that Arsenal would look at. I think it would fit the profile as well, as far as Arteta is concerned, because we know what he’s trying to build a squad of young players who’ve got high ceilings and high potential so it could be one that Arsenal do look at in January, potentially, but the summer is more realistically.’DON’T MISSChelsea boss Potter told he needs one signing to challenge for titleMan Utd’s expensive trend highlights issue Ten Hag is struggling to controlBarcelona may sell six stars in January after falling out of Champions LeagueWIN A FREE ENGLAND SHIRT FOR THE WORLD CUP!
