The January transfer window is a notoriously difficult period for clubs to do business in and yet Arsenal find themselves needing to take advantage of their position in the table. Five points clear of Manchester City but with a striker down, after Gabriel Jesus’ injury, reinforcement to assert their position is a necessity.
football.london understands that Arsenal have set their sights on both a midfielder and a wide player. Emile Smith Rowe is closing in on a return but the starting options in Mikel Arteta’s XI do lack strength in depth and an injury to Bukayo Saka or Gabriel Martinelli now would be a serious problem.
That said, the Gunners are facing a problem with their hunt for reinforcements. Arsenal have been linked to two key forwards of late, Mykhaylo Mudryk of Shakhtar Donetsk and Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix.
