Arsenal will have a weekend off after their trip to Forest in midweek, as they will not be involved in the fifth round of the FA Cup after being knocked out on penalties at home by Manchester United in round three. Nuno’s men will be in cup action again if they avoid an upset away at third-tier Exeter in early February.

Nottingham Forest could rival Arsenal for the signing of in-form Brentford striker Yoane Wissa before the January transfer window closes. Both clubs are looking at strengthening their forward lines for different reasons following encouraging midweek results.

The likes of Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, both in the top four, are vying for his signature. Per The Telegraph, any potential move may depend on a domino effect of other transfers. For instance, West Ham United are assessing Taiwo Awoniyi from Forest this month. If they bring him in, then Forest would go after Wissa as his long-term replacement.

Nottingham Forest will explore a move for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa if Taiwo Awoniyi leaves in the January transfer window.
