Arsenal against Chelsea have become a theme of the January transfer window so far. We saw how Graham Potter’s side beat Mikel Arteta’s team to the signing of Mykhailo Mudryk, we are now monitoring the situation of Moises Caicedo, and then is also Malo Gusto.
We all know how Arsenal were in talks for Mudryk before London and Premier League rivals Chelsea made a late move to snap up the Ukraine international winger.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that both Arsenal and Chelsea have made offers to Brighton and Hove Albion for Ecuador international midfielder Caicedo.
That is ongoing situation.
Another potential transfer battle between Arsenal and Chelsea is for Lyon right-back Malo Gusto, although at the moment it seems that the Blues are willing it.
