Arsenal target superstar winger in January to replace Gabriel Martinelli

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is reportedly searching for an elite-level winger to boost the Gunners' title charge in the second half of the season.

Arsenal have failed to get consistent output from the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling, prompting Arteta to look elsewhere.

Bukayo Saka remains the only consistent threat for Arsenal, and there is a noticeable drop in performance levels when the 23-year-old is unavailable.

According to Football Insider, Arteta is targeting West Ham winger Mohammed Kudus as a big-money arrival and improvement on the likes of Martinelli and Trossard.

Kudus has been one of the Premier League's best wingers since arriving from Ajax last summer, and would instantly be viewed as an upgrade on Arteta's existing options.

Martinelli scored against Chelsea on Sunday, but that was only his third goal in 12 games this season, following a season where he only managed 7 strikes in 45 games.
