Mykhaylo Mudryk might not be the January answer that Mikel Arteta needs to sustain a title-challenge according to one of the Gunners' former stars. The 22-year-old is undoubtedly the top target this month in a bid to further strengthen their depth in attack and reduce the load on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli's shoulders.
Arteta's men are still clear at the top of the league table and remain unbeaten in 11 league games but showed signs of frustration in their 0-0 draw against Newcastle, the first time they have failed to score in a league match since May. It's the first home league match they haven't registered a goal in since March.
Although a point against the high-flying Newcastle isn't necessarily a bad result, it did add to those clamouring for a move for Mudryk. Given Arsenal have had two bids for the forward rejected already it is proving to be anything but a formality despite his desire to play at the Emirates Stadium.
