This January transfer window could be busy for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta's side are currently determined to win the Premier League.
The Gunners need to upgrade their squad to chase Liverpool in the Premier League as well as compete in the Champions League. In particular, Bukayo Saka's long-term injury will more or less affect Arteta's attack.
So, how will Arsenal's squad change after the 2025 winter transfer window closes?
The attack is perhaps the position where Arsenal need to spend the most money. Saka's absence has forced them to sign a new right winger.
Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams has long been rumored to be moving to the Emirates. And while Saka remains Arsenal's number one choice for the foreseeable future, Williams would be the perfect addition for the present.
Meanwhile, Wolves star Matheus Cunha has also been on the Gunners' radar after his impressive form this season. Although not a winger, Cunha will still be a great upgrade for Gabriel Martinelli.
In the center of the attack, Alexander Isak has scored 12 goals in the Premier League this season, so he will be a great rookie for Arsenal. However, the Swedish striker's reportedly £100 million fee would be a major obstacle.
In midfield, Arteta could also add another player. After signing Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2024, Arsenal are likely to reopen talks with the Spanish side to sign Martin Zubimendi.
The Spanish midfielder is said to be ready to move to the Emirates, but Arsenal could face competition from Liverpool. Meanwhile, Martin Odegaard's position is irreplaceable even with the Gunners interested in Arda Guler.
The defense is perhaps the position Arsenal fans are most confident about at the moment. Riccardo Calafiori only moved last summer and hopes to build his role in the future.
Meanwhile, Jurrien Timber is finally showing his true potential. The Dutch defender's debut campaign was marred by injuries. Timber could be a key player in Arsenal's defence alongside Gabriel, William Saliba and David Raya.
Potential Arsenal lineup: Raya, Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber, Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard, Williams, Cunha, Isak.
