Mikel Arteta is hoping to add a few new signings to his squad in the January transfer window. Sporting director Edu Gaspar will be hard at work along with Arsenal's scouts to identify which players they will pursue deals for in the new year.
football.london understands a central midfielder and winger are among the Gunners' priorities to strengthen in January. Two players that have cropped up as potential targets include Shakhtar Donetsk talent Mykhaylo Mudyrk and Chelsea's Christian Pulisic.
Mudryk has openly admitted that he would find it hard to "say no" to the north London outfit if they made a bid for him, but Shakhtar are said to have slapped an £80million price tag on the 21-year-old, who has been labelled the 'Ukrainian Neymar'. Pulisic has impressed for the USA at the World Cup in Qatar but his form at the Blues leaves questions marks around whether he would be a good fit at the Emirates Stadium.
