Arsenal will be Man City’s main title challengers this season | Football Digest<\/h3>\n

Arsenal could be negatively affected by Sandro Tonali’s 10-month football ban as Newcastle United prepare to wade into the January transfer market. Everton star Amadou Onana is rumoured to be a player of interest for both the Magpies and the Gunners, with Mikel Arteta at risk of being beaten to the punch.<\/p>\n

Tonali will miss the rest of the season after being served with a 10-month ban by the Italian FA (FIGC). The 23-year-old, signed for \u00a355million from AC Milan during the summer, admitted to secretly betting on his own team while playing in Italy.<\/p>\n

Newcastle are expected to hit the ground running once the transfer window reopens in January. And Onana is believed to be on Eddie Howe’s shortlist as he chases down a physical presence with Premier League experience.<\/p>\n

The Belgian reportedly has admirers at the Emirates Stadium, too, and his agents were thought to be in regular contact with Arsenal’s transfer team earlier this year.<\/p>\n

A big-money move didn’t materialise as the Gunners shelled out a whopping \u00a3105million on Declan Rice instead. But a January swoop can’t be ruled out, particularly with rumours suggesting that fellow midfielder Thomas Partey is growing tired of sitting on the bench in north London.<\/p>\n

Onana may need no second invitation to jump ship at Everton, with the threat of a 12-point deduction looming large at Goodison Park. The Premier League have recommended a ‘severe’ punishment for breaching profit and sustainability rules, with the Toffees due to discover their fate later this year.<\/p>\n
