Liverpool are leading the way in the Premier League, but Arsenal are in the title race and showed last season how they can finish strong.
The Gunners also have the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup to look forward to, the FA Cup and the Champions League knockout stage.
Reinforcements in January could be a welcome boost for Arteta’s squad, who have been hit hard by injuries this season.
Top priority
Even before Bukayo Saka was ruled out for a significant period with the hamstring injury he suffered at Crystal Palace, the need for Arsenal to bolster their forward line felt clear.
Arsenal have struggled in attack at times this season, as shown by goalless draws against Everton and Fulham this month.
A new forward - be that someone who plays as a No9 or out wide - would be a welcome addition and could help the Gunners with the “magic moments” that Arteta has mentioned them lacking at times.
What else they need
Depending on how Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu progress with their recoveries, a new right-back on loan could be handy.
Jurrien Timber has performed well there, but Arsenal have struggled when Thomas Partey - their only other real option there right now - has played.
