With the January transfer window on the horizon, plenty of sides are beginning their planning for the chaos that will bring as well as the opportunity to strengthen for the rest of the season. For Arsenal, this could be a pivotal moment of their campaign, allowing them to add to the squad in a potential title push.
There are a few areas that could be addressed, with the right-wing being a particular issue due to the lack of options beyond Bukayo Saka. The midfield was also an area Mikel Arteta looked to strengthen, making a late move for Douglas Luiz that didn't quite pay off on deadline day.
There's also the potential to strengthen in defence, however the prospect of January is very different to the summer as the need to strengthen mid-season only inflates transfer fees and the desperation for moves could result in poor decisions. It's led to the Gunners missing out in the past, perhaps for short-term pain in the pursuit of long-term success.
