Six players tipped to sign for Arsenal in January including Declan Rice and Ferran Torres

Arsenal are yet to make a signing in the January transfer window. However, with Mikel Arteta's side currently eight points clear at the top of the Premier League they are only expected to make signings in essential positions.

At present, it appears that a midfielder could be the main priority, with the current reliance on Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka. Both have been performing well, but an injury to either would leave the Gunners' lack of midfield depth exposed during a crucial title run in.

In addition, a left-winger could be targeted, with the well publicised pursuit of Mykhailo Mudryk ending after the Ukraine international joined Chelsea. However, the return of Emile Smith-Rowe and Eddie Nketiah's impressive performances in Gabriel Jesus' absence could mean that reinforcements in attacking areas may not be as much of a priority as it once appeared.
