Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is pushing to make a double transfer move this month as he bids to strengthen his squad for their Premier League title challenge.
The Gunners sit five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, having lost just once all season. But Arteta's squad does appear at risk of becoming overwhelmed if injury hits, something the Spaniard is seeking to address in the January window.
His top target remains Mykhailo Mudryk, though their battle with Chelsea for the Shakhtar Donetsk winger is intensifying. The Gunners are thought to have already seen two bids rejected by the Ukrainian Premier League side.
