Anthony spent a decade on Arsenal’s books before making the move to the south coast in 2016. He has since made 73 appearances for the Cherries’ first-team. He has scored twice this season.

Anthony feels like a real surprise target for Arsenal. that the Gunners believe that he has real potential to improve further. And he would certainly not cost as much as some of the other names linked with a move to the Emirates this month.

Former Cherries boss Scott Parker also suggested that he is an ‘‘ talent, too.

It is not clear whether Arsenal are looking at a deal in this window or in the summer, when he will potentially be available on a free transfer.

Arsenal have got very little wrong in the market over the last couple of years. In some ways, this deal may evoke memories of the move for Aaron Ramsdale. Ramsdale joined from Sheffield United having previously been at the Vitality Stadium.

Few could have seen how quickly Ramsdale would step up. Perhaps Arteta’s men believe that there is a huge amount to come from Anthony in the future also.
