Bukayo Saka out due to injury, Mbeumo transfer, Victor Gyokeres deal”, Arsenal dream squad once January transfer window is completed – as Arteta highl!ght Three players who can replace Bukayo Saka by January

Images of Bukayo Saka leaving Selhurst Park, with the aid of crutches during the course of this event, will not send shock waves through the Arsenal fan base only; it is only filled with worry and trepidation. The winger was down within the first phases of the first half, clutching his hamstring.

‘He felt something in his hamstring,’ he said in a press conference. ‘He will have to be assessed. Pretty worried about that.

Arteta has made no secret about his possibility to strengthen the squad, depending on the scenario. Losing Saka and adding to that injury to Raheem Sterling could probably have tipped the Spaniard and the club for transfer territory and with that view, football.london now looks at three possible options.

Bryan Mbeumo

The Brentford forward has been phenomenal for the Bees, and Thomas Frank would really be grateful to shake that question about Ivan Toney. The truth is, he has perhaps an even better player that again clubs might be looking at again. His new thing has been scoring goals early because that has pushed him to 10 for the season with three assists.

Mbuemo could be a very similar deal to Bukayo Saka whether playing wide on the right or through the middle. And then also when Saka comes back, the Cameroon international will probably be part of the competition at centre-forward too.

Jamie Gittens

Next in our list is a prize acquisition in many clubs’ books, priced highest amongst its worth in Bundesliga with a player whose stock continues to grow like Jude Bellingham and Jadon Sancho before him. Nine goals and four assists see his 20-year-old step up in a trying campaign for the BVB.

He has played about a third of his matches on the right, while he usually has been plying his trade on the left. At only 20, he also has so much to give to the Gunners in the future and it could make it hard for Baka when he comes back to compete with the likes of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

Mohammed Kudus

And returning to the Premier League is Mohammed Kudus, a player whom Arsenal have expressed interest in previous windows. The Ghanaian has proved to be a huge success after arriving from Ajax, and Arsenal’s previous interest in him means that there’s absolutely no reason for this to have waned.

Also, for all the players on this list, Kudus is probably the most versatile. He could cover Saka but more so could also be pushed into attacking midfield should Martin Odegaard go missing, switch to the left even or play centrally.
