Edu in hotly contested transfer race
According to Fichajes, via Caughtoffside, the Gunners face competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid amongst others to sign Rennes midfielder Lovro Majer.
With Thomas Partey regularly suffering from injuries, bringing in a midfielder in January could be a priority for Edu and Mikel Arteta during the January transfer window. Croatian star Majer is reportedly one of the names on the list, though it could be difficult to persuade him to move to England over La Liga.

Saka named England POTY
Arsenal's Bukayo Saka has won the England Men's Player of the Year award for the first time. It comes after a stellar season for his club and country.
The 21-year-old beat the likes of Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane and West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice to the award, having shown a superb display of his talent over the course of the past year. He's already picked up his form this season too, finding the net once and registering four assists in Arsenal's opening seven Premier League games.
He was presented the award by a group of young local grassroots players. The England star had no idea that it was to be awarded to him, and in his grateful shock, he smiled and humbly said: "No way. I did not expect this honestly, so yeah, I'm honoured. It's really nice."
