Manchester United have rebuffed loan interest in Manuel Ugarte from Ajax already this month and the Dutch giants have now set their sights on Arsenal's Christian Norgaard

Transfer news LIVE! Arsenal deal close; Chelsea consider Luiz; Palmer wants Man Utd, Liverpool eye Van de Ven - January window is approaching the home stretch

Arsenal versus Manchester United is a fixture that has lost its lustre since the days when they were scrapping for Premier League titles with such ferocity that clashes between the sides inevitably reached boiling point.

Just over a week remains for Mikel Arteta to bolster his squad in the January transfer window in a season where his Arsenal are currently competing on all four fronts

Signing players from Real Madrid hasn’t been alien to Arsenal over recent years, as seen with the move to land attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard in the summer of 2021. The Norwegian joined the Gunners for a reported £30m that window and has since gone on to make 200 appearances under Arteta, even becoming the club’s captain.

On a special episode of Women's Football Weekly, the team head to the Sobha Realty Training Centre to learn how the 'Arsenal Way' shapes tactics, how they communicate with each other and why training is "more serious" than it used to be.

Continuing a flurry of Manchester United transfer news, young striker Ethan Wheatley is close to joining Bradford on loan for the rest of the season. The 20-year-old was recalled from a loan spell at Northampton last week and is now expected to return to League One, but this time playing for a club pushing for promotion.

Lauded as "one of the best (forwards) in the world" by former Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso, the £210k-a-week forward could be a fantastic signing for Arsenal, although they should perhaps give Gyokeres a little while longer to prove himself before trying to bring in a replacement.

Arsenal’s January transfer window continues to take shape, with fresh updates emerging on potential attacking targets and outgoing loan moves. The Gunners are assessing long-term attacking reinforcements while also finalising plans for one of their brightest young prospects.
