The January transfer window does not open for nearly another eight weeks but with an entire World Cup set to be played before the end of the year, Arsenal are already getting their affairs in order and setting their sights on several targets.
The Gunners have been linked with a hefty list of top names across the footballing world and have seen their chances of signing Palmeiras midfielder Danilo boosted with the likelihood of acquiring Mykhaylo Mudryk in January taking a hit.
Mudryk, who has scored three goals in the Champions League with Shakhtar Donetsk, was outlined as a major target in the summer but a new update from Fabrizio Romano has suggested that despite positive talks on the side of the player, a move in January could also fall through.
