Arsenal's search for a new anchor in midfield looks certain to progress into the January transfer window as Mikel Arteta's men look to bolster their Premier League title chances. The Gunners are top of the Premier League table with 37 points and find themselves involved in their first title battle since 2016.
Arteta's side have enjoyed a drastic improvement to their end-of-season form last term and have been firing on all cylinders prior to the World Cup. It's understood that the Gunners could delve into the January transfer window to boost their squad depth, and a midfielder has been highlighted as a priority.
Brazilian midfielder Danilo has been linked with a move to England for some time and saw their £21 million bid rejected on deadline day. However, recent reports have insisted that the same fee could be a suitable price for Palmeiras to accept next year.
