Arsenal is reportedly planning a January transfer for Brentford attacker Kevin Schade as manager Mikel Arteta seeks to improve depth in the attack. The Gunners have had fewer attacking options this season due to the late departures of Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus during the summer transfer window. As a result, the club has had to depend more heavily on existing wide players and emerging talents.

Schade's impressive start to the season has caught Arsenal's attention. According to football.london, the club sees his playing style as a good fit for Arteta’s system and is considering making a move when the transfer window reopens.
The 24-year-old has scored three goals in his first five Premier League appearances this season, placing him among the league's early top scorers, trailing only Erling Haaland. His standout performance came in a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, where he netted both of Brentford's goals to secure a draw. He also opened his scoring for the season against Leeds United.
From Arsenal’s perspective, Schade's speed, direct approach, and versatility make him an appealing option, as he can play effectively on either flank or in a central role.
