Arsenal could be extremely busy all the way up until transfer deadline day with Mikel Arteta close to putting the finishing touches on his option for the remainder of the season.
It's been a very good start to the new year for the Gunners on and off the pitch. Two wins and a draw from their Premier League games - against Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United - this month means they remain five points clear at the top of the table.
The one downside has been Friday night's 1-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup, as wrapping up deals for Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior as well as agreeing a new contract with Gabriel Martinelli has been hailed by large sections of the Arsenal fanbase.
