Emi Buendia to Arsenal transfer: Shirt numbers Norwich star could wear | Football | Sport

Transfer chief Edu has made it clear the Gunners will target a creative midfielder in the January transfer window.

“It’s quite clear what we need,” the Brazilian said at a fans’ forum last month. 

“We need a player with creativity in the middle, we don’t have that in the squad right now.”

The emergence of Emile Smith Rowe has lessened the urgency to act, although a move for reinforcements remains likely as Arsenal look to continue climbing the table.

Arteta has been impressed by the youngster, however, and views a bright future in his side.
