Mikel Arteta and Edu are desperate for a new central midfielder at Arsenal. The Gunners sit top of the Premier League after being red-hot since August, but they face a huge January dilemma should they face their first title fight since 2016.
The Gunners are competing with Pep Guardiola's world-class Manchester City team at the top of the league and currently lead the way by two points. However, as is well-documented, they face a hectic 2023 due to the controversial World Cup taking place in the middle of a domestic season and simply don't compete with the Citizens when it comes to squad depth.
There have been plenty of names chucked into the mix over the last few months. football.london understands that a new winger and central midfielder are the priorities in the future after failed attempts to secure Youri Tielemans and Mykhaylo Mudryk in the summer.
