"Arsenal are ready to replace a summer signing with a Barcelona star in the January transfer window. The Gunners made seven permanent incoming transfers during the summer window to try and plug gaps and add depth to their squad. There have been some successes, with Eberechi Eze and Martin Zubimendi impressing so far, but Arsenal's hierarchy supposedly believe there is already room for improvement."
"Arsenal midfielder Christian Norgaard applauds the fans (Image credit: Getty Images) Norgaard has only started three games in all competitions, and in the Premier League played just two per cent of the available minutes, suggesting perhaps Arteta is not all that comfortable with him playing a large amount. Barcelona's Marc Casado, who is more similar in profile to Zubimendi than Norgaard, is a possibility according to Spanish outlet Fichajes."
Arsenal completed seven permanent signings in the summer to plug gaps and add squad depth. Eberechi Eze and Martin Zubimendi have impressed, while Viktor Gyokeres has settled in without being groundbreaking. Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera and Christian Norgaard were viewed as depth options. Christian Norgaard has started only three games across all competitions and played just two per cent of available Premier League minutes. Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado, whose profile is closer to Zubimendi than Norgaard, is being considered as Barcelona look to free up finances. A fee of around €30 million is suggested, with Chelsea and Napoli also interested and Arsenal in the strongest position.
