Arsenal could sign one of Europe's best young defenders for just £17million this month as they look to provide extra stability and reinforcements to their backline. Oleksandr Zinchenko has had his fitness issues this season whilst Takehiro Tomiyasu has had time away with injury too.
Otherwise it has been a largely settled back four for Mikel Arteta's men despite Kieran Tierney's own continued struggles. Having conceded 14 goals in 17, the Gunners boast the second best defensive record in the league with only Newcastle letting in fewer. As well as having a dynamic attack, the defence has been a solid backbone for the team.
Just like Ukrainian winger Mykhaylo Mudryk is a top target in attack this winter Arsenal have also identified a new defensive option too. Ivan Fresneda is one of the most promising players coming through in Spain and has attracted the attention of a host of Premier League sides.
