Fabrizio Romano said Piero Hincapie is not expected to leave Arsenal. Romano also said the club have no intention of changing their back four during the January transfer window.
Hincapie's status
Posting on his YouTube channel, Romano said: “When it’s about Piero Hincapie and the swap deal between Arsenal and Barcelona , I don’t see this happening for one reason: Arsenal have no intention to sell Hincapie”. Hincapie joined Arsenal permanently in the summer after initially arriving on loan from Bayer Leverkusen.
Arsenal's attacking plans
Arsenal brought in Christos Tzolis over the summer and lost Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard. Arsenal have reportedly already chosen their top target from two options for a marquee signing in the January window. The club have £84 million worth of Bundesliga attacking talent in sight, with money reportedly set aside for spending in the final third.
Romano added: “A new signing up front is something that I would not rule out for Arsenal. I think it’s a possibility, but as of the 6th of November, we are not in a position to guarantee that Arsenal will sign a striker or will sign a forward, because this depends obviously on the opportunities.”
Interest in Nusa
Antonio Nusa is an RB Leipzig winger. Romano said interest around Nusa is growing, with many top clubs sending scouts to follow him and talking with people close to him.
Former Norwegian midfielder Kristoffer Løkberg told Bakrommet via Nettavisen: “The completely obvious option in the Premier League is Arsenal.”
Arsenal's league start
Arsenal have won eight of their first nine matches and have a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
