Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu could be in for a busy January transfer window despite Arsenal's impressive start to the 2022/23 campaign.
The club spent around £120million on five new players this summer including Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Fabio Vieira, all of whom spearheaded ambitious plans to bolster the squad. However, failed pursuits of both a central midfielder and winger could lead to more activity in the coming months.
Various names such as Douglas Luiz and Danilo continue to do the rounds, with deals for either player remaining a possibility in the winter, football.london understands. Shakhtar Donetsk's Mykhaylo Mudryk is another long-term target and was even considered before Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny picked up injuries ahead of deadline day, though Arsenal are expected to face major competition for his services.
