Arsenal set to fail in signing highly-rated midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai as Red Bull Salzburg star is 'to join RB Leipzig in January' in another blow to Mikel Arteta's season following poor Premier League start

Arsenal target Dominik Szoboszlai has opted to join Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in January, according to reports.

The Hungarian, who currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg in Austria, is one of the most highly-rated midfielders in Europe and is believed to have a release clause of £23million.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is looking for some midfield reinforcements after a poor start to the Premier League season, particularly in front of goal, and wants an attacking midfielder to boost his options in the final third.
