Arsenal

Arsenal are reportedly interested in bringing in a new defender, despite some of the supporters desperate to see a striker arrive through the door.

Arsenal are prioritising signing a defender in the January transfer window. The Gunners might not make major signings and could have a quiet window. Arsenal are targeting young defensive talent and focusing on shoring up their back line.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be looking to bring in reinforcements during the January transfer window as the Gunners push for the Premier League,

And journalist Dean Jones has discussed their priority position with GIVEMESPORT.

Eager to secure the Premier League title this season despite an inconsistent start, the Gunners will determined to gain some ground in the race.

Recognising the competition from other contenders vying for the top spot,

Arsenal will be keen to make winter signings to ensure they do not fall behind their rivals. The likes of Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Liverpool could be looking to add reinforcements before the window slams shut.

There has been plenty of talk about Arteta’s side needing to bring in a new striker due to a lack of goals from their current crop of attackers,

But it appears that the Gunners will be prioritising strengthening another position in their team.

This window could be quiet for Arsenal

The Gunners will undoubtedly be fighting to lift the Premier League as we reach the final months of the season, but as it stands, the north London outfit are five points behind Liverpool in the race.

There’s certainly an argument that Arsenal need to bring in new additions in the winter window to ensure

They are in with a chance of finishing in first place at the end of the campaign,

But the supporters at the Emirates Stadium shouldn’t be expecting a host of signings.

According to journalist Ryan Taylor, Arsenal are yet to open talks with Everton for midfielder Amadou Onana,

Despite reports, and the Sunday Mirror reporter believes it’s going to be a quiet month for the Gunners unless there is a significant departure.

As mentioned, there has been plenty of suggestions that the Gunners should be bringing in a top-level centre-forward,

With Arteta not having a player who is likely to consistently hit 20 goals a season in the Premier League.
