Arsenal are now leading the race to sign an “unstoppable” forward, having moved ahead of Manchester United, and they have made contact over a deal.

Gunners step up pursuit of new attacker

The Gunners are setting the pace at the top of the Premier League table, moving six points clear of Manchester City after the weekend’s action, but signing a new forward is seemingly still on the agenda, with two offers being made for Real Madrid forwards.

The north Londoners have reportedly lodged bids for both Rodyrgo and Brahim Diaz, while they have also made contact over a deal for Juventus star Kenan Yildiz, having constantly monitored the Turkish winger.

Mikel Arteta seemingly remains keen on strengthening his attacking options, with summer signing Eberechi Eze struggling to force his way into the manager’s plans, failing to get off the bench in the last four Premier League matches.

There has now been a new update on Arsenal’s pursuit of Borussia Dortmund star Karim Adeyemi, with a report from Caught Offside revealing they are now ahead of Man United in the race for the forward’s signature.

Such is the Gunners’ level of interest, they have lodged an enquiry over a deal for the Dortmund forward, and a deal could be possible, with the German club willing to cash-in this month, rather than waiting until the end of the season.

The Bundesliga outfit could demand up to €70m (£61m) for the versatile forward, who is capable of playing on both wings and at centre-forward, meaning the north Londoners may need to spend big if they are to beat the likes of United and Barcelona to his signature.

"Unstoppable" Adeyemi impressing in the Champions League

Desribed as “unstoppable” by scout Ben Mattinson, the 23-year-old has put in some eye-catching displays in the Champions League this season, amassing two goals and two assists in five appearances.

Mattinson has also urged Arsenal to sign the German in the past, taking to X to praise his finishing ability, while suggesting the winger may have what it takes to reach the very highest level.

Throughout his time at Dortmund, the Munich-born attacker has been a reliable source of goals and assists, recording 54 goal involvements in 129 outings, and at 23-years-old, he still has time to develop even further.

With Arteta clearly keen to bring in a new forward, having identified a number of potential targets, Adeyemi has proven he could be the perfect option.

Manchester United are pressing ahead in their hunt for new signings and could now be set to target a talented defender to help solidify Ruben Amorim’s backline.

Man Utd keen to keep pace in Premier League with January signings

Admittedly, the Red Devils’ stalemate with Wolves was hardly a clash to remember as they closed out the year with another frustrating Premier League result.

However, Manchester United have shown promising signs this campaign, and there is a feeling that the best is yet to come under Amorim, who is likely to be given funds to spend in January to bolster his depleted squad.

Whether statement arrivals or modest profile additions are on the agenda remains to be seen, the Red Devils’ reported interest in Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta does indicate that INEOS could show ambition if circumstances were to align.

With the World Cup on the horizon and places to be fought for in respective national squads, Amorim may try and capitalise on Conor Gallagher’s situation at Atletico Madrid. He is said to be leading the race to sign the Three Lions man.

Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee may be pushed closer to the exit door if that were to be the case, creating a potential cycle of incomings and outgoings that will likely provide some freshness to the squad as the Red Devils continue to fight on all fronts.

Ultimately, January is never a simple month for clubs to conduct business, especially given the amount of absences most Premier League clubs are having to deal with at this point in time.

Either way, Manchester United are expected to be active this window and could now make a move for a talented defender from one of Europe’s top-five leagues.

Man Utd seeking move for Rennes star Jeremy Jacquet

According to Sky Sports, Manchester United are plotting a move for Rennes star Jeremy Jacquet as they seek defensive reinforcements alongside bodies in midfield to shore up Amorim’s pool of options.

Nevertheless, a deal will be difficult to conduct this month for any interested suitors, though his situation is fluid and could change rapidly depending on the level of admiration for his talents.

Labelled a “Rolls-Royce” by scout Ben Mattinson, the central defender has made 15 appearances in Ligue 1 this campaign. Per Fotmob, he has also won 66 duels and made 23 tackles in the league, imposing himself in the French top flight at only 20 years of age.

Ayden Heaven has stepped up in light of injuries. However, more depth is needed if Manchester United want to sustain their bid to push for Champions League football.

Jacquet has the profile and requisite qualities needed to make an impact at Old Trafford, albeit he is unlikely to be short of suitors this month and beyond, eye-catchingly valued at around the £35m mark.
