We asked AI to predict what the January transfer window could look like for Arsenal based on the season so far.
The Gunners are doing really well this year under Mikel Arteta, they are second in the Premier League after beating Newcastle 2-1 in their last game last weekend. Furthermore, Arsenal won their two opening games in the Champions League, with the most recent, a 2-0 win against Olympiacos.
Arsenal’s summer transfer window was a major success, with the likes of Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi all joining the club amongst others, and it has led to Arsenal having one of the best, and deepest squads in world football.
As we get closer to the January transfer window, we asked ChatGPT to predict how Arsenal’s January transfer window could look when we eventually get there, the results are amazing…
Arsenal sell trio of players for £43m
Gabriel Jesus to the Saudi Pro League (£23m)
Firstly, Jesus to the Saudi Pro League does feel like a very realistic option for the Gunners, as the Brazilian striker has been dealing with an injury for the past year.
Furthermore, as the Gunners signed Gyokeres in the summer, Jesus will be the third choice striker when he returns in January behind both Gyokeres and Kai Havertz.
Leandro Trossard to Lazio (£8m)
AI also predicted that winger Trossard would be sold in the January window, and as an example destination, it predicted that he would join Serie A side Lazio, to try and propel them up to title contending side in Italy.
Oleksandr Zinchenko to Borussia Dortmund (£12m)
Zinchenko’s role at Arsenal has significantly decreased in recent months which led to a loan move to Nottingham Forest.
Based on this, AI predicted that Arsenal could recall him and sell him permanently whilst they can still get a financial return on the former Man City full-back.
Chelsea attacking target signed for a hefty £75m fee
Kenan Yildiz from Juventus (£75m)
In somewhat of a shocking move, AI predicted that Arsenal would splash a lot more cash in January, and sign attacker Yildiz from Juventus.
They have been linked to Yildiz, alongside rivals Chelsea, however, after investing heavily in Eze, Gyokeres and Madueke in the summer, it feels an unrealistic move.
Ademola Lookman from Atalanta (Loan)
This feels slightly more likely, especially if the Gunners sell Jesus, however, the question would be whether Atalanta would willingly allow Lookman to leave on a short-term loan deal.
Lookman has been linked to Arsenal in the past, alongside several other Premier League teams including Manchester United.
