There have been rumors that Christian Pulisic, now playing for Chelsea, could be moving to the Emirates Stadium in January, allowing Stan and Josh Kroenke to take their transfer strategy to the next level.
American businesses have been aiming to strengthen the ties between their various athletic franchises to share information across their network. This information will allow Arsenal to expand its scouting efforts in the North American region.

Matt Turner and Auston Trusty, both of Major League Soccer, successfully finalized moves to the club during the summer, with Trusty coming over from the Colorado Rapids, owned by Kroenke Sports and Entertainment. Most recently, Facundo Torres of Orlando City has emerged as another US-based player to attract attention from the Gunners. There have been discussions about a potential trade, including him.
It has been reported that Arsenal is keeping tabs on Jesus Ferreira of FC Dallas. Ferreira plays for the United States national team at the World Cup. Ferreira finished the previous season with 18 goals in 33 league games. Should Pulisic decide to move to north London, it will undoubtedly assist Kroenke and his family in raising the profile of Arsenal in the United States even more.
Even though Pulisic moved to Borussia Dortmund in Germany in 2015, he is still considered one of the most significant sporting talents to emerge from the United States. He is known by the nickname "Captain America," and he is widely regarded as the face of the sport.

Unfortunately, Pulisic's time in England has not been as fruitful as he had hoped. He has struggled through several injuries and has been frustrated by the lack of playing time he has received at Chelsea. The 24-year-old player has only started three of the fourteen matches that have been played so far in the Premier League, and he has only started one of the six matches that have been played in the Champions League. It is quite unlikely that the situation would change for the winger, especially if Christopher Nkunku is brought in from RB Leipzig, as some sources claim he will be.

According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are all keeping a close eye on Pulisic as he considers moving in January to pursue more opportunities elsewhere. It is believed that Pulisic is considering moving away to gain more playing time elsewhere.
Midfielder and winger are rumored to be at the top of the shopping list for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who is rumored to be interested in enhancing his team's roster during the winter transfer window. Danilo of Palmeiras and Mykhaylo Mudryk of Shakhtar Donetsk continue to be extensively linked. Still, Pulisic might represent an option to improve the frontline that is more inexpensive should he become available.
