According to the Express UK, Arsenal could be in the lead to sign 24-year-old midfielder Weston McKennie from Serie A giants Juventus.
The American international is also said to be a target for Manchester United and several other clubs. Bournemouth, Aston Villa, and Fulham are all reportedly interested in McKennie and Borussia Dortmund.
McKennie is a vital member of the United States national team and stood out in the recent World Cup in Qatar. He has nine goals in his 41 caps for his country and has been a consistent performer for Juventus since joining the club in 2020.
The Gunners require midfield reinforcements, and the signing of McKennie would be a significant coup for the club. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has recently made some notable signings, including Leandro Trossard from Brighton for a fee of up to £27million and Poland defender Jakub Kiwior, who is set to join the club from Spezia for £17.5m.
The Gunners are also rumored to be signing Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid on loan.
The Gunners are having a dream season under the managerial role of Mikel Arteta. Arsenal registered a nervy 3-2 win over Manchester United on Sunday, 22 January, to further cement their position at the top of the EPL table.
The Spanish manager is now looking to sign more players to bring depth to his bench as he aims for the EPL title this season.
McKennie would be a great addition to the Arsenal midfield, as he has proven to be a versatile player who can play both a defensive and attacking role. He will bring energy and drive to the midfield, and his ability to score goals will be a welcome addition to the team.
However, with the transfer window still open and clubs still looking to make new additions, it remains to be seen whether or not Arsenal will be able to secure the signing of McKennie.

In an exciting contest on Sunday, the Gunners secured a 3-2 win over the Red Devils.
However, Manchester United will be disappointed with their performance, only managing 12 touches in the Arsenal box.
