With Tottenham and Manchester United appearing to be picking up their respective form and Arsenal appearing to be heading in the opposite direction, the time could be right for Mikel Arteta to make some investment in his squad.
The centre of midfield is an ongoing problem at the Emirates and talks appear to be progressing nicely for a deal to add Arthur Melo into the mix.
A striker is also a long-term goal for Arteta with a reliance on Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith-Rowe for goals at the moment with issues surrounding the futures of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
