As transfer deadline day fast approaches, there's an argument that Arsenal are still short in a couple of areas, thus making Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu's priorities very clear.
After standing firm on their policy to not overpay for players, the Gunners were not dragged into a bidding war with Chelsea for Mykhailo Mudryk and as things turned out, it was the west London outfit who ended up paying the £88m fee - including possible add-ons - that Shakhtar Donetsk were asking for.
But with the January transfer window open for another fortnight, there's still time for Arteta and Edu to turn to plan b and bolster the forward line which is a little depleted at the moment despite Emile Smith Rowe's return to fitness as Gabriel Jesus and Reiss Nelson remain on the sidelines through injury.
