Arsenal need to add to the midfield department in the January transfer window. Despite a strong starting pivot in the middle of the park, there is a lack of quality in depth to boost Mikel Arteta’s options.
Youri Tielemans was thought to be the main target to bolster the Arsenal midfield. However, Arsenal have hesitated over a deal in the past, which was proven when Edu opted against signing him in the summer.
If Edu does opt against signing Tielemans in January, then it is crucial that an alternative is signed. A potential option for the Gunners is to hijack Liverpool’s potential deal for Mohammed Kudus from Ajax. The north London side had previous embarrassed the Reds after a World Cup in 2014, and they can look to do it again ahead of the current January transfer window.
