Work behind-the-scenes at Arsenal is underway for what is expected to be a busy January transfer window as technical director Edu and Mikel Arteta look to add reinforcements to the current crop of players. The Gunners are top of the Premier League after 14 games and face a tough Manchester City side in winning their first title since 2004.
Arsenal's first half of the season means they find themselves in their first title fight since 2016. However, unlike City, Arteta's squad face the serious threat of dropping off due to the lack of squad depth. football.london understands a new midfielder and wide player are priorities ahead of the winter party but Gabriel Jesus' injury could change the club's strategy.
The forward has hit the ground running in north London since his £45million move from Manchester City in the summer and despite not finding the back of the net since the start of October, has been instrumental in the Gunners' impressive start to the season.
