Nottingham Forest have made top Arsenal target Matheus Cunha their ‘primary target’ for the January transfer window, according to reports.

Former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna has warned Mikel Arteta against signing £65m target Matheus Cunha. The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazilian as they look to bolster Arteta’s attacking options before the transfer deadline.

Mikel Arteta is eager for Arsenal to strengthen their squad before the January transfer window closes - even if they cannot sign a new striker. Arteta has stressed the need for the Gunners to add an attacker after Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus suffered injuries.
