Arsenal's final five days of the January transfer window has potential to mould the Gunners' Premier League title hopes come the end of the season. Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior have both arrived from Brighton and Spezia respectively but the emphasis on a new midfielder remains.
Mikel Arteta admitted that ideally the club would add a new face to his options in midfield for the second half of the season after Mohamed Elneny's absence in recent weeks. It is understood that a central midfielder has been on Arsenal's radar for some time, even prior to the Egyptians injury concerns.
Ahead of his side's FA Cup clash at Manchester City tomorrow, Arteta was asked by football.london if the injury to the 30-year-old will result in a reinforcement in midfield. "Well, we need some more cover in midfield ideally if we can," the Gunners boss said.
