Arsenal eye January swoop for new Premier League star to replace Sanchez

Emirates Stadium

Arsenal are interested in signing Watford’s star winger Richarlison in the January transfer window, according to the Daily Mirror.

Richarlison moved to Watford over the summer from Fluminense and has since lit up the Premier League with impressive performances for the Hornets.

The Brazilian youngster has already scored five goals in 11 appearances this season and has played an important role in the success Watford are currently enjoying under Marco Silva.

This good form seems to have attracted the attention of many teams across England, with the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham believed to be scouting the 20-year-old at the moment.

Arsenal look especially invested in the youngster as they need a new suitable signing to potentially replace superstar Alexis Sanchez and although Richarlison is still very young, he could prove to be a good signing for the Gunners.

Richarlison will probably be an ideal fit as he has similar skill-set and style to Sanchez, which means the Brazilian can fit into the Arsenal team seamlessly.
