Arsenal are preparing for a busy January transfer window with a new attacker and central midfielder thought to be on the club's agenda. Mikel Arteta was keen to add more signings to his squad in the summer transfer window after the Gunners had spent over £100million for a second successive year.
Cody Gakpo and Mykhaylo Mudryk have both been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in the new year. football.london understands Arsenal hold a long-term interest in Gakpo, with reports elsewhere suggesting they could face competition from Manchester United and Liverpool for his signature.
Mudryk has previously admitted that he would struggle to 'say no' to Arsenal if they were to make an offer for his services. Shakhtar Donetsk are said to have slapped an £80million price tag on their star forward, who has been labelled the 'Ukrainian Neymar' due to his electric pace and amazing dribbling ability.
