Arsenal Line Up Two Top European Wonderkids to Maintain Progress Under Unai Emery

Arsenal bosses are keen to see the progression of the club under Unai Emery continue and have identified two top young talents as transfer targets, as they look to further strengthen their squad in January.

Head of recruitment, Sven Mislintat, has been busy planning for the future at the Emirates and has identified Rennes' forward Ismaila Sarr and prodigious Bayer Leverkusen teenager Kai Havertz as primary targets.

Since the departure of Arsene Wenger, Emery has spent £70 million on players. Granted, the north London club's budget is a little more modest than that of PSG, where Emery was able to bring in Kylian Mbappé and Neymar for a combined total of more than £320m - in the same season.
