Eduardo Camavinga to Arsenal transfer latest: Carlo Ancelotti decision, loan bid prepared

Arsenal's January transfer window has burst into life in the past few days as the Gunners have moved quickly to get some deals over the line. With the side sitting top of the Premier League and several points clear, perhaps there's a recognition that there may be no better time to win the title than this season.

Further quality in depth is required though and they've made steps to add that, signing Leandro Trossard from Brighton for an initial £21million fee. Poland international Jakub Kiwior appears close to becoming the second signing shortly after, with a fee and contracts said to be agreed before a medical.

Further bolstering of the squad could follow shortly after, with the latest link being a move for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. With that said, here's a look at the latest updates on a potential move.

Ancelotti explains lack of game time

With Camavinga struggling to break into the first-team this season, manager Carlo Ancelotti explained the reason for such difficulties, following some early substitutions: "The substitution against Valencia was a technical one. He played well, but I changed him so as not to risk playing with 10 players.

"He played well against Barcelona, but I switched him because I wanted to bring more players on up front. I really believe in him. Admittedly, I’ve taken him off a number of times at the end of the first half and I haven’t always been fair to him in this respect, but I have complete confidence in him and he’ll contribute to the team tomorrow just as he always does.”

Arsenal offer

Arsenal are preparing a loan move for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga this January, according to the Evening Standard. The 20-year-old midfielder has struggled for game time since making the switch to Los Blancos from Rennes, though it is unclear whether a move would be sanctioned this month.
