Arsenal 'keen on signing Matheus Cunha from Atletico Madrid in January' as they hunt for a replacement for the injured Gabriel Jesus, but 'face competition from Leeds, Aston Villa and Wolves' in race for the forward

Arsenal are interested in signing Atletico Madrid forward Matheus Cunha as a temporary replacement for Gabriel Jesus in January, according to a report.

Gunners manager Mikel Arteta was dealt a blow during the World Cup when Jesus picked up a knee injury, and the Brazil man has since gone under the knife and faces a spell of up to three months on the sidelines.

Eddie Nketiah is set to deputise for Jesus upon the return of the Premier League later this month, but, according to GOAL, the club will look to strengthen in the forward areas as they look to maintain their title charge.
