Arsenal transfer rumors: The Gunners are still looking for a midfielder this month and have been linked with PSG's Georginio Wijnaldum.
Arsenal are looking for a new central midfielder this month, with Mikel Arteta lacking options in that position.
Due to international commitments this month, Arsenal are missing Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny, and with Ainsley Maitland-Niles completing a loan move to Roma on Saturday afternoon, Arteta is left with only Granit Xhaka and Albert Sambi Lokonga as midfield options.
Georginio Wijnaldum is a name that refuses to die. The former Liverpool midfielder is now playing for Paris Saint-Germain, but numerous reports suggest that the Netherlands international is dissatisfied with his current situation in France.
So, with that in mind, football.london brings you the most recent news on Wijnaldum's potential move to Arsenal.
Wright implores Gunners
Ian Wright has urged Arsenal to sign Wijnaldum from PSG this month in order to resume "challenging seriously."
"I saw Wijnaldum's name," Wright said live on Premier League Productions. That would be incredible. PSG has agreed to a loan deal.
"Someone like that in the middle of the field. Of that encounter. He is a Premier League champion. Just to help with the kids and a Sambi Lokonga to keep things going." Then they can add to the squad, and Arsenal can suddenly start challenging and challenging seriously."
Gunners were dealt a major blow.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano told Anfield Watch, via Sports Illustrated, that Wijnaldum's future is largely in his own hands.
"The player is still focused on fighting for PSG, so I don't think he'll leave in the near future; he'll try to fight for his place and change the situation," he said.
"Of course, he was accustomed to playing an important role for Liverpool. As a result, It's not easy for him to be on the bench at times during the team's rotation. Let's see what happens, but for the time being, he's focused on PSG.
"Let's see if things change, but for the time being, there isn't much. I don't think he'll be anything for January."
Possible loan transfer
According to reports, Wijnaldum is open to returning to the Premier League on loan after being frustrated by his situation in France.
This season, the former Liverpool man has only made nine starts in Ligue 1, competing for a midfield spot with Marco Veratti, Danilo Pereira, Leandro Parades, Ander Herrera, and Idrissa Gueye.
Arsenal were reportedly among the first clubs to express interest in signing him on a short-term contract, but it all depends on whether PSG is willing to let him go.
Wijnaldum told Dutch news outlet NOS in October that he was 'not completely happy' in Paris because he wasn't getting enough chances to play consistent minutes.
