The Italy international reportedly wants to leave Elland Road and Mikel Arteta can bolster his attacking resources with his signing.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal have been searching for a player who can provide support to Saka in recent transfer windows. Moussa Diaby and Mohammed Kudus were both linked but have ended up at Aston Villa and West Ham respectively.<\/p>\n<p>A lack of a direct replacement for Saka saw him rack up a club record of featuring in 87 Premier League matches in a row. But the addition of Champions League football this season has piled more onto the winger&#8217;s workload.<\/p>\n<p>Saka is also one of the first names on Gareth Southgate&#8217;s England team sheet at international level. The 22-year-old suffered a string of knocks earlier this season before eventually injuring his hamstring which saw him miss the home visit of Manchester City and the recent international break.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd \u2018agree\u2019 Mason Greenwood return stance as Anthony Martial nears exit door<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Arsenal-transfer-news-Bukayo-Saka-Wilfried-Gnonto-5052341.jpg?r=1699287509135\"><\/p>\n<p>When fit, Saka starts for Arsenal. But Arteta needs to be able to rotate his best players too and he should be no exception.<\/p>\n<p>Gnonto could provide an opportunity for the Gunners in the January window. Arsenal have been linked with the 20-year-old in the past, with Calcio Mercato claiming in March that they and City were following his progress at Leeds.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds were relegated at the end of last season and Gnonto wanted to leave in the summer. He went on strike in an attempt to force an exit but Leeds stood firm and he remained with the club after the window shut.<\/p>\n<p>But TuttoMercatoWeb is now reporting that Gnonto still wants to leave Leeds and is hoping to do so in January. Gnonto is not happy at his lack of game time under Daniel Farke.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &amp; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Lee Sharpe opens up on life as a pro golfer after winning seven trophies Man Utd[INTERVIEW] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd may have thrown another \u00a372m down the drain if Hojlund fear comes true[COMMENT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Marcus Rashford fires back at Man Utd &#8216;rumours&#8217; with five-word social media post[SOCIAL] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He missed a month due to an ankle injury and has only started one of the four matches since his return.

Gnonto, who has already won 13 senior caps for Italy, could be the answer.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1832117\/Arsenal-transfer-news-Bukayo-Saka-Wilfried-Gnonto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Arsenal can go some way to easing their concerns over Bukayo Saka by making a move for Leeds star Wilfried Gnonto in January.
