Arsenal are running out of time to sign a midfielder in the January transfer window.
The Gunners currently lead the Premier League by five points after a stellar first half of the season, winning 16 of their 19 league outings, losing just once in the process. During the winter window, technical director Edu has bolstered Mikel Arteta's squad, bringing in Belgian attacker Leandro Trossard from Brighton and Polish defender Jakub Kiwior from Serie A side Specia.
However, the north London club are still short in the middle of the park, especially with Mohamed Elneny currently sidelined with a knee problem. “We need some more cover in midfield ideally if we can,” Arteta said when on Wednesday when asked about potential business before the window slams shut.
