Bengaluru,
Sept.
22:
It
has
not
even
been
a
month
since
the
closure
of
the
massive
summer
transfer
window,
however,
clubs
across
Europe
are
already
busy
exploring
the
market
for
top
talents
and
potential
options
to
improve
their
squad
in
the
January
transfer
window.

Arsenal
who
have
had
a
productive
window
this
summer
are
also
said
to
be
keeping
their
eyes
open
for
new
recruits.
One
position
Mikel
Arteta
is
said
to
be
looking
to
enhance
is
the
wing
position
and
there
have
been
talks
of
a
new
attacking
arrival
in
January.

The
latest
name
which
has
been
linked
with
them
now
is
Eintracht
Frankfurt
attacker
Jesper
Lindstrom
and
apparently,
the
club
have
also
made
a
contact
with
his
representative.

Over
the
last
year
or
so,
the
22-year-old
has
been
putting
in
memorable
performances,
most
notably
on
European
stages.
It
seems
to
have
caught
the
eye
of
the
North
London
side
who
are
now
said
to
be
exploring
a
January
move.

Jesper
Lindstrom’s
impressive
tenure
at
Frankfurt

At
just
22
years
old,
Lindstrom
is
already
a
regular
for
both
club
and
country,
having
made
his
international
debut
for
Denmark
in
2020.
After
signing
from
Brondby
for
£6m
in
the
2021
summer
window,
he
has
been
a
mainstay
in
the
lineup.

Last
season
he
earned
the
Bundesliga
Rookie
of
the
Season
award
following
five
goals
and
five
assists
in
29
league
appearances,
while
he
provided
a
further
four
assists
in
European
competition
as
the
Bundesliga
side
won
the
Europa
League.
This
term
he
is
maintaining
the
same
form
once
again
with
three
goals
in
10
appearances
so
far.

A
good
option
for
the
Gunners?

The
22-year-old
is
comfortable
playing
on
both
the
flanks
hence
he
would
have
the
kind
of
versatility
Mikel
Arteta
appreciates.
Signing
him
for
the
team
will
improve
the
quality
of
the
current
Arsenal
squad
while
his
arrival
will
fill
the
void
left
by
Nicolas
Pepe.
Moreover,
he
is
reportedly
valued
at
around
£20
million
by
Frankfurt.
So,
getting
him
for
such
a
relatively
modest
fee
should
be
a
no-brainer.
