The full picture
Arsenal remain interested in signing Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi in the January transfer window, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg. Tresoldi has scored 12 goals in 14 appearances this season, including a couple of hat-tricks. The Gunners had previously considered signing him earlier this year but did not make a formal approach. Tresoldi's performances have impressed with his goalscoring, hold-up play, and aerial presence.
Club Brugge's £42 million valuation for Tresoldi previously deterred Barcelona from signing him last summer. Arsenal have not made a formal approach for Tresoldi, but have likely monitored his performances closely, having signed winger Christos Tzolis from Brugge last summer. The Gunners may consider pursuing Tresoldi if he continues to impress, particularly in the Champions League.
Signing Tresoldi would likely require a significant outlay, potentially necessitating a high-profile exit to compensate, such as Viktor Gyokeres, who has been a fringe player for Arsenal this term. The Premier League holders typically prefer to make big-money signings in the summer, so it remains to be seen whether they will deviate from this approach in January.

Source context
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal remain keen on signing Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi during the winter transfer window. The Gunners were credited with an interest in the 22-year-old earlier this year, but the club did not proceed with a formal approach. Arsenal signed winger Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge last summer, but no proposal was made for Tresoldi. This has not ended the speculation regarding the German’s future. Plettenberg claims that Arsenal and other top clubs are still keen on landing the talented centre-forward, and a January transfer can’t be ruled out for the Brugge ace.
