West Ham United are open to offers from Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta for one of our star players in January it seems.
Both West Ham and Arsenal are expected to be busy in the January transfer window.
Julen Lopetegui and Mikel Arteta are both in desperate need of reinforcements at the London Stadium and The Emirates respectively this winter.
Things haven’t gone as well as expected for the Hammers or the Gunners so far this season.

However, things could be set to get worse for West Ham, but a whole lot better for Arsenal at the same time.
That’s because the Gunners could be set to swoop in for one of our stars this winter.
Arsenal want to sign West Ham star in January
The Hammers may well lose one of our best players when the January window opens.
And the annoying thing is that it seems like we could be prepared to let him go without much of a fight.
MORE WEST HAM STORIES
According to a report from talkSPORT, Arsenal are weighing up a January move to sign Mohammed Kudus from the Hammers.
And what’s more, West Ham are said to be open to selling the 24-year-old forward.
He has been linked with a move to Arsenal on numerous occasions in the past.
Ghanian website Ghana Web have described Kudus as a ‘world-class’ player, and whilst he might not actually be at that level just yet, he certainly has the potential to reach it.

The 24-year-old joined the Hammers from Ajax in the summer of 2023 for a fee thought to be worth around £38 million.
He has been a sensation at the London Stadium, with 16 goals and eight assists in 58 games to his name.
The Ghana international is incredibly strong, possesses explosive pace and has a certain kind of unpredictability that makes him impossible to defend against at times.
Kudus has an £85 million release clause in his contract – one that becomes active in the summer of 2025 (The Athletic).
However, it seems like the Hammers could be tempted to sell him in January, if a decent offer comes in for him.
And if Arsenal make a firm offer for Mohammed Kudus, it seems like West Ham will lose yet another one of our best players to the Gunners.
