Arsenal have been handed a huge boost in their efforts to sign Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans in the upcoming January transfer window. The Gunners could be one of the more active sides in the winter market as they continue their push at the top of the table.
Squad depth remains an issue if they want to challenge for the title deep into the season, with injuries in the first part of the campaign already proving problematic. While this hasn't directly correlated to league form yet, an exit to Brighton in the Carabao Cup may have raised issues, while the fringe players may be less likely to take part in the latter rounds of the Europa League, requiring more from those who start across all competitions.
With January fast approaching, manager Mikel Arteta had his say on the plans ahead. "The planning of that period is extremely difficult," he said.
