Bukayo Saka's severe hamstring injury sustained during Arsenal's victory over Crystal Palace last weekend has rattled the team. Mikel Arteta confirmed that he expects Saka to miss the next two months of activity as a result of the English international having to have surgery. Even if the 42-year-old already intended to add a backup behind the right winger for the upcoming season, Arsenal's plan to acquire a player in that position may be delayed until January because they now lack a natural right winger.
The Gunners are keeping an eye on Samuel Chukwueze, a winger for AC Milan. With three goals and an assist this season across all competitions, the 25-year-old has been useful off the bench. Despite the fact that the attacker is a vital backup player, Paulo Fonseca is reportedly willing to let him leave for around £17 million. By giving Jakub Kiwior to AC Milan, Arsenal is probably going to try to further negotiate the price of the transfer.
