This week in football news, Arsenal's transfer plans for January and summer 2025 have been made public, indicating the club's strategy for strengthening their squad in the coming months. Meanwhile, Brighton faced Southampton in the Premier League, with the Seagulls aiming to climb to second place with a victory.
