Gunners goin' toe-to-toe with Euro mugs for young footy talent in Jan window

Alright, you muppet. Listen up. Arsenal are eyeing up some wonderkid from Lille. Ayyoub Bouaddi. Yeah, that's right. The Premier League leaders want to sign the bloody teenager.

Gooners keen on Bouaddi

This Bouaddi lad has forced his way into the Lille first-team in 2025. He's only 18 and he's already made 18 appearances this season. Not bad for a young'un.

He made his debut in Ligue 1 aged just 16 back in 2023. And now he's got a cap for France under-21s. Talented little bugger, ain't he?

Competition for the young star

But hold up. It ain't just Arsenal after him. Oh no. There's a whole load of top Champions League clubs sniffing around. PSG are one of them. Bouaddi's just signed a new deal with Lille though. His contract runs until 2029 now. Good luck trying to sign him, Gunners.

And get this. Arsenal are also interested in some Levante striker. Etta Eyong. Chelsea and Man United are looking at him too. Busy transfer window coming up, eh?

Arteta's transfer plans

Mikel Arteta might want to splash the cash in January. His team are five points clear at the top of the Premier League. They only lost one of their first 14 games. Not too shabby.

But the Gunners spent £260.5million on seven players in the summer. Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze were two of them. Blimey. How much more money are they gonna throw around?
