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, the Gunners 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 was Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, but it now seems that he could be making a move elsewhere.
