Mykhaylo Mudryk has sent another teasing message to Arsenal ahead of the January transfer window. I like him, because I like all my ex-players. It comes days after yet another social media message which he sent out during the 3-1 victory over West Ham. It doesn't look like convincing him will be a problem, though.

Arsenal are expected to be busy when the January transfer window opens as they aim to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League.

Arsenal want to bring in a winger in January and Mudryk fits the bill perfectly. [He has also publicly stated how keen he would be on a move to north London.](https://www.goal.com/en/news/mudryk-addresses-arsenal-fans-social-media-persistence-as-he-talks-up-transfer/blt0e410c8510ca9471) All the talk as January approaches is centred around Mykhailo Mudryk.

Arsenal end 2022 with a seven-point lead at the top of the league after they prevailed 4-2 in a lively encounter at the Amex.

“Maybe we need to control the game a bit better,” admitted Ødegaard. “The last goal of Martinelli, it closed the game,” shrugged De Zerbi afterwards. Manic on the touchline through those closing moments, Arteta called for a calm his frenzied expression did not remotely match. “I can say nothing more than Mac Allister is in my Brighton team, I can tell you nothing more,” said De Zerbi. “A big win, I’m really happy, they made it tough for us,” said Arteta.

Arsenal's attack was too much for Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, though the Seagulls made sure to provide some fun for the home fans in a 4-2 affair.

Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. QUESTIONABLE: Emiliano Martinez (late return from World Cup) OUT: Richarlison (hamstring), Lucas Moura (calf) Aston Villa, meanwhile, returned from the World Cup break with a 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool for the first Premier League setback of the Unai Emery era (2W-0D-1L). Slow starts plagued Tottenham prior to the World Cup break, and the problem appears no closer to being solved after spotting Brentford two goals before the hour mark. Chelsea’s still learning its biggest stars under Graham Potter, and USMNT winger Christian Pulisic helped Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling deliver the goods against Bournemouth. Forest will present a different challenge, to be sure. 👊💙 Here's our starting XI to take on @Arsenal this evening. That said, Arsenal was largely overrun by Brighton late and this was a Brighton side missing huge pieces of its midfield. Adam Lallana and Leandro Trossard have been in-form over Brighton’s three wins in four, scoring in two games each. Kaoru Mitoma and Evan Ferguson scored in a game it trailed 3-0 and 4-1. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Eddie Nketiah also scored for the Gunners.

Arsenal transfer target Mykhailo Mudryk is once again watching the Gunners in the Premier League, suggesting he's seriously interested in a move.

Should Chelsea decide to lodge a bid for Mudryk, the Ukrainian may be in a situation where he needs to choose between the two London rivals. For the second time in less than a week, Mudryk has shown off how he's watching Mikel Arteta's side, who are cruising to a win over Brighton as they look to extend their lead at the top of the table. They might face competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea, however, with the Blues also reportedly keen on bringing him to England.

Jamie Carragher says he'd love to see Arsenal win the title, and believes the signing of Mykhailo Mudryk could be key in their efforts to hold off the challenge ...

But it doesn't seem to be the case, certainly with the new regime at Chelsea. It feels like they're going for every player in the world! I really like what Mikel Arteta has done, I interviewed him a few weeks ago and it went really well.

Sportsmail's experts consider if Arsenal can win this season's Premier League title. Arsenal's 4-2 win at Brighton on New Year's Eve left them seven points ...

The worry has always been whether they can be consistent in the second half of the season and that is something we are yet to find out. There are reasons for caution but a good chunk of this season so far has shown Arsenal are the least likely of all to drop points. If they can keep their key men healthy, and ensure Gabriel Jesus is fit and firing when he returns from injury, Arsenal can end their 19-year wait for the title. My instinct is the final table will be very close but Arsenal may have to accept being gallant runners-up. It could be in the final weeks of the season. They will be targeted differently in the second half of the season, yet are genuine contenders with resilience to mark them out from previous Arsenal teams and are growing in stature with every game.

Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign Marcus Thuram in a cut-price deal from Borussia Monchengladbach in the January transfer window.

The 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on New Year's Eve was a case in point. Arsenal had won just one of their previous five Premier League trips to the ...

They are just the fifth side in English top-flight history to pick up as many as 43 points from the first 16 games in a season (adjusting to three points for a win) and they have to carry that momentum into the New Year. The former’s wobble in recent games (conceding a penalty against [West Ham](https://theathletic.com/football/team/west-ham-united/) and making a mistake for Brighton’s second goal) will need ironing out quickly, however. Although the turn of the year is here, there are still 22 games to play. Brighton were good value for the chances they created but Arsenal finding a way to come through those pressure moments is encouraging. [Theo Walcott](https://theathletic.com/football/player/theo-walcott-nGIijgvjTdkmRImz/) scored after 20 seconds at QPR. It’s not about the leadership of the team, it’s about the understanding of certain situations in the game — not to continue to put the game into that mood I would say. There is good timing between them and they are scoring goals, which is really important for the team.” Rather than take the opponent on, Martinelli recycled possession and Arsenal worked the ball from back to front, through the lines, to win a corner. “What’s the emotional state of the game and what is required to do? At points the match became so end to end that both teams struggled to get a real feel for the ball. Sensing when to truly attack a game has been one of Arsenal’s biggest improvements this campaign — especially how early in halves they go for the kill. On Saturday, it was Odegaard streaking through the Brighton midfield and into their box which did that.
