Arsenal can make their first transfer of January thanks to Bayern Munich’s decision to sign Sacha Boey from Galatasaray.

Bayern’s decision to sign Boey for €30 million has been confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and means the Bundesliga champions are no longer interested in PSG’s Nordi Mukiele, who was seen as an alternative to Kieran Trippier . The move paves the way for Arsenal to sign the 26-year-old before the end of the month.

Mukiele goes straight there

Manager Mikel Arteta is looking to strengthen his defensive line, particularly on the right, and the versatile Mukiele could do just that. Although he is capable of playing as a central defender, he is a dynamic attacking option on the right flank, and Football.London suggests PSG have given the Gunners the ‘green light’ for a loan move for the former Montpellier.

This is a “no risk” move for Arsenal, who have been weakened on this flank of their defense by persistent injury problems this season. Mukiele, meanwhile, has struggled to get playing time this season under Luis Enrique. At the Parc des Princes, he is second choice behind Achraf Hakimi at right-back, while Carlos Soler and Warren Zaire-Emery are also used in this position.
