Mikel Arteta wants to sign Club Brugge striker

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has reportedly urged the hierarchy to sign Club Brugge striker Ferran Jutgla in January.

The Gunners have made a sensational start to the campaign and they are currently top of the league table after nine games.

They have looked good value for their lead, but may need more squad depth to deal with the hectic schedule going forward.

The club obviously want to land another winger, and TodoFichajes claim that Jutgla has emerged as a leading transfer target.

Jutgla was sold to Brugge by Barcelona this summer for €5m and he has since scored eight goals alongside five assists.

The 23-year-old has largely played as a striker for the Belgian giants, but he is also capable of operating from either wing.

Arteta is said to be impressed by his immense progress and has now urged the board to sign him when the window reopens.

Brugge have been fancied to sell him for around €10m this winter.
