Arsenal appear to be eyeing a deal to land both Mykhaylo Mudryk and Joao Felix in the January transfer window, but so far face one key obstacle blocking both joining the club. It comes ahead of a potentially huge market coming up for the Gunners to try and reinforce the squad.
Mikel Arteta has currently guided his side to the top of the Premier League and several points clear of his nearest competitors Manchester City and Newcastle United. However, there are still plenty of questions over the depth and quality at his disposal across the whole squad.
The Spaniard has reiterated his desire to dip into the budget at the Emirates Stadium to try and land some players in January, telling reporters: "We knew the importance of getting players early in the summer and that is the same we want to do in January. This is idealistic. Sometimes it is not realistic. But obviously, if you ask my opinion, as quick as possible we want the players in to get settled."
