Sporting Star back on Arsenal radar

Arsenal will reportedly renew their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon midfielder William Carvalho due to ongoing recent injury crisis.

The Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was expected to have a quiet winter transfer window with most of the club's players in good form and fitness.

However, long-term injuries to Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla has left a huge void in centre-midfield and this is likely to affect their league ambitions in the second half of the campaign.

According to The Telegraph, Arsenal are set to offer Carvalho with a dream move to the Emirates in the New Year.

In addition to this, the club are ready to match Sporting's asking price of around £25m for the midfield enforcer.

Carvalho has recently recovered from a stress fracture to take part in his side's league campaign.
