Mikel Arteta makes winger demand for January
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has his sights on signing a new winger when the transfer window reopens in January, according to Football Insider.
The Gunners have had a below-par start to the Premier League season and they are currently fifth in the table with 18 points after 10 games.
The club have struggled to create clear-cut chances with the limited creativity and Arteta is keen on solving the concern at the turn of the year.
Football Insider claim that the Gunners boss has demanded the hierarchy to land a marquee winger as soon as the transfer window reopens.
There are no stand-out targets at the moment, but reports claim that Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo is one of the top names on their radar.
Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo has also been linked with the Gunners, but a mid-season deal could be difficult to pull off due to the price tag.
Both clubs could demand as much as £60m for their respective wingers.
