Zapping Our Mondial Top 10: The biggest increases in values
Arsenal will be impacted by the Africa Cup of Nations. Mikel Arteta is left without two important players in his midfield, as Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny have joined Ghana and Egypt in preparation for the competition.
According to information from Fabrizio Romano, Mikel Arteta would like to recruit in this sector of play to compensate for these absences, added to the loan of Ainsley Maitland-Niles to AS Roma. The journalist specifies that the Gunners particularly appreciate the profile of Bruno Guimaraes.
Arsenal are working to sign a new midfielder. Bruno Guimarães appreciated but currently not discussed as January target – deal too complicated, €45m fee. ???? #AFC
Arthur Melo on loan has been discussed days ago – but still no talks/contacts with Juve. Three names in the list.

However, the latter appears to be too complicated a target for Arsenal. The Lyonnais would like 45 million euros to let him go. Juventus Turin midfielder Artur Melo is among the other targets.
to summarize
Arsenal would seek to strengthen their midfielder in the next transfer window, while Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny are at CAN. The Gunners would follow Bruno Guimaraes’ situation with interest but a transfer this winter seems compromised.
