Arsenal could make a January transfer window move to sign Man Utd midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, according to one respected journalist.<\/p>\n
The England international is yet to start a Premier League match this season with Mainoo making nine appearances off the bench in the league.<\/p>\n
Mainoo was afforded a start in his one other appearance in their League Cup defeat to Grimsby Town with Ruben Amorim not seeing him as a regular starter.<\/p>\n
The Man Utd<\/a> midfielder attempted to leave before the end of the summer transfer window after Amorim made it clear publicly that he would be fighting captain Bruno Fernandes for his place in the side.<\/p>\n That led Mainoo to seek a loan move elsewhere in order to guarantee first-team football but Man Utd director of football Jason Wilcox talked him into staying.<\/p>\n Chelsea and other Premier League sides have been linked with a potential move for Mainoo ahead of the winter transfer market \u2013 but\u00a0ESPN journalist Mark Ogden is tipping Arsenal<\/a> to make a short-term offer for the Englishman.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Every Prem club\u2019s player of the season so far includes four sold by Newcastle<\/a><\/p>\n Speaking on the ESPN FC podcast<\/a>, Ogden said:\u00a0\u201cUnited would prefer to keep him, I guess, but as we know, United are happy to let players go, our homegrown players.<\/p>\n \u201cPSR situations, it happened with Garnacho in the summer to Chelsea. So I think Kobbie Mainoo will have an interesting window.\u201d<\/p>\n Ogden added: \u201cI don\u2019t think he will go to Arsenal, but I think he\u2019s a player that Arsenal could look at if they were getting to the end of the window and they did a short-term option to be a cover option for Martin Odegaard.\u201d<\/p>\n He also doubled down on his stance on the ESPN website with Arsenal potentially needing more cover with Max Dowman perhaps unable to play too many games.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Salah has fallen \u2013 which ten other apparent Premier League undroppables could be next?<\/a><\/p>\n
