Arsenal enter race to sign Barcelona star in January

Arsenal have entered the race to sign Barcelona attacker Memphis Depay in January, according to TuttoJuve.

The Gunners are expected to be without Gabriel Jesus for the next three months following his knee surgery.

In his absence, the club will want a replacement and it appears they are interested in bringing Depay back to the Premier League.

Depay was on the cusp of leaving Barcelona in the last transfer window, but he ended staying with the Catalan giants.

However, he is likely to leave at the turn of the year and reports claim that he could make a return to English football.

Arsenal see him as a potential candidate to provide cover for Jesus. They are hopeful of signing him for around €2 million.

They won't be alone in the pursuit of the Dutchman. Juventus, Liverpool and Chelsea could also make attempts to sign him.

Liverpool are currently on the look out for a new forward following another long-term knee injury sustained by Luis Diaz.
