Mikel Looks Towards Budget Signing In Thuram
Arsenal will be looking to build on their superb start to the season in the winter window and adding an additional body upfront that can grab goals is a priority. They are looking for a winger or someone who can play directly upfront and compete with Jesus. The Gunners are five points clear at the top of the Premier League table but know that with a lack of goals that lead isn't going to be easy to maintain.
Having been priced out of many targets lately, there seems to be one bargain on the horizon that could be worth the risk.

Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport claims both Arsenal and Totenham are interested in signing Thuram from Monchengladbach in Germany. Thuram is out of contract at Monchengladbach at the end of the season, hence the low asking price. Getting a player on the cheap means a few more teams are also sniffing around for the on 25-year-old who is on his way to the world cup with France.
The report says Bayern Munich, Juventus, Inter Milan, and Marseille are also all interested in Thuram. The versatile forward, who can also play upfront or out wide, has 10 goals and three assists to his name in 15 club appearances so far this term and has over 30 goals in 90 appearance s during his time in Germany.
He was a late call-up to Didier Deschamps' France squad for the World Cup in Qatar. Deschamps initially only named a 25-man squad, with Thuram eventually picked as the 26th player.
Arsenal and Tottenham are both reportedly working on a deal to sign France forward Marcus Thuram in January with Borussia Monchengladbach willing to sell the player for as little as £8.7milion instead of losing him on a free
Tottenham are also keen on improving their front line face a battle to finish in the top four this term. Antonio Conte's side are also in the last 16 of the Champions League, where they face AC Milan in February and March and feel that their current 5 forwards aren't doing enough.
If this battle for Marcus's signature goes ahead, Spurs could pip Arsenal by offering one of their bit-part players like Lucas or Gil to try and get a deal over the line, but Arsenal would be a destination where he would likely get more game time.
