The Premier League leaders are looking to bolster their front lines with creative Ukranian forward Mykhailo Mudryk. Mudryk has three goals and two assists in six Champions League appearances so far. Arsenal has already sent in two proposals to the Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk. Mudryk seems keen on the move to North London. It is up to the two sides to find a price tag suitable to each club.

With Gabriel Jesus being injured for the foreseeable future. Arsenal has to decide whether to trust Nketiah or to purchase a player in January. One replacement for Jesus could be João Félix, a skillful Portuguese attacker who can play on the wing or up top.
Félix, who plays for Atletico Madrid, cost them €130 in 2019, the third most expensive transfer ever. He has four goals and three assists in 14 games this season in La Liga. Arsenal will have to drop the bag for Félix due to the fact Atletico Madrid paid so much for him. The deal is unlikely to happen just due to the price tag of the skillful Portuguese attacker.

Youri Tielemans has been linked with Arsenal since 2017, but the player and club have never had the right timing to make the deal go through. The Leicester City midfielder had a disappointing exit from the World Cup with Belgium, and he might want to advance his career with a top club now.
Tieleman’s contract ends in June, so he could be a bargain deal in January before he goes on a free transfer elsewhere. Arsenal might wait until June to pick him up, but he could provide value for Arsenal in their title race.

A newly linked player to join the Gooners is Alejandro Balde. The Barcelona youngster could bolster the left-back position for Arsenal. However, this transfer would not be easy, with third-place side Newcastle also enquiring about the Spanish wonderkid. Balde has three assists in 14 appearances in La Liga so far.
Balde could bring depth and free up Zinchenko to move into the center of midfield. This deal is definitely plausible but not a priority for Arsenal.

Declan Rice could be on the move across London and headed to the north of London. The West Ham captain has been linked to every top English club and is now linked to Arsenal. The midfielder would provide much-needed depth and ability to the squad in case Granit Xhaka or Thomas Partey were to get injured. Rice is a great player who will eventually move to a top club for a large fee. It is just unlikely that it will be in January of 2023.
