After placing second in the last two Premier League seasons, manager Mikel Arteta will be keen to prevent his team from suffering a third straight defeat. The North London team will have tough opposition from both current leaders Liverpool and reigning champions Manchester City, and it appears that the championship fight will once again linger on for the whole of the season. However, Arsenal seems to be pursuing a Serie A player off the field.
The Gunners are monitoring Atalanta attacker Charles De Ketelaere, according to CaughtOffside. After a trying time at fellow Italian team AC Milan, the Belgian spent a year on loan at the club before joining Atalanta permanently over the summer. He has made an impression thus far this season, and the rumor indicates that other teams have expressed interest in signing him. Among them is Arsenal.
