Man Utd can finally sign Ederson for huge bargain fee

The Gunners have had an excellent start to their Premier League campaign this season, but the lack of a genuine strike partnership could hamper their chances of winning a trophy after an 8 year long wait, with the club having relied on Olivier Giroud being fit for the first half of the campaign.<br />

According to Goal, the Gunners boss Arsene Wenger wants to secure the services of the Brazilian international during the winter transfer window, in order to strengthen the strike force.<br />

The reports also claims that the North London outfit have made contact with Costa's agent about a potential switch to the Emirates, and will match the player's release clause which now stands at £32m.<br />

Costa has been in top form for Atletico Madrid this term, having amassed 22 goals in 21 appearances for the club in all competitions.
