Arsenal news LIVE: North London derby reaction as Gunners win 3-1, Locatelli transfer target – latest

ARSENAL have BEATEN North London rivals Tottenham 3-1 at the Emirates.

With the scores poised at 1-1, the game turned after half time, with Gabriel Jesus firing the Gunners ahead before Emerson Royal was sent off for a studs-up tackle on Gabriel Martinelli.

Then Granit Xhaka wrapped up the result with a third, to propel Arsenal back to the TOP of the Premier League overnight.

Mikel Arteta is reportedly waiting in the wings to swoop in for Juventus midfielder Manuel Locatelli.

The out-of-favour Italian has failed to live up to expectations since signing for the Old Lady in 2021.

And reports suggest that the Gunners could be willing to try and go in again for Locatelli.
