With the business end of the World Cup ahead, domestic clubs will now be thinking about December's return to action. Arsenal host West Ham on Boxing Day as the Premier League's leaders look to extend their five point lead at the top of the table.
Much has been said about the Gunners' ability to mount a title challenge this season. Few doubt their ability, but because they lack depth in key areas - specifically in midfield and at right-wing - some question whether they have enough to compete with Manchester City in the long-term.
With that in mind, Edu and Co. are surely going to be active in the January market. Plenty of names have been linked as a result, so without further ado, let's take a look at the latest transfer rumours surrounding the Emirates.

Mykhailo Mudryk
Mudryk has admitted that he would prefer a move to Arsenal than Real Madrid if it meant he was a starter at his prospective new club.

Hakan Calhanoglu
According to reports in Italy, via the Transfer Tavern, Edu and Arsenal could make a move for Calhanoglu in January. Calhanoglu could be sold if an offer of €30m (£26m) comes in for him, even if he is one of Inter's 'big names'.
Endrick
Barcelona could drop out of the race to sign Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, with Arsenal and Tottenham also said to be keen on the 16-year-old attacker alongside the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid.
According to Marca, via HITC, the La Liga side aren't willing to invest heavily in a player that won't be able to play for the club until 2024, with Endrick unable to move to Europe until he turns 18 as Palmeiras look to earn a huge payday from their generational talent.
