Arsenal reportedly Interested in Samuel Chukwueze to cover for Injured Saka

Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze as a temporary replacement for Bukayo Saka, who is sidelined with an injury.

Saka’s Injury Leaves Arsenal Short

In Arsenal’s recent Premier League victory over Crystal Palace, Saka had to leave the pitch early after appearing to injure his hamstring. Following medical tests, manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the winger will be out for several weeks.

Reports differ on Saka’s return date, with some suggesting February and others predicting March. The Gunners are also without Raheem Sterling, who was signed to provide backup but is currently injured.

Chukwueze on Arsenal’s Radar

Arsenal, who are competing for the Premier League title, are looking for reinforcements ahead of the January transfer window. Samuel Chukwueze, who has struggled for game time at AC Milan, has emerged as a potential target.

According to Milan Live, the Italian club is open to selling the Nigerian winger, who joined them for €20 million from Villarreal two summers ago. The move could provide Arsenal with a much-needed solution to their injury woes as they aim to maintain their title challenge.
