Arsenal’s January transfer rumours continue to build, with reports linking the club to La Liga talents Dani Rodriguez and Arda Guler.
Mikel Arteta and his recruitment team are said to be keeping a close eye on young attacking and midfield options across Europe and South America.
Meanwhile, the club has also strengthened its backroom setup with the arrival of throw-in specialist Thomas Gronnemark.
Here’s a full roundup of the latest stories surrounding Arsenal’s transfer and coaching plans.
Arsenal eye Barcelona winger Dani Rodriguez or Real Madrid’s Arda Guler
Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for FC Barcelona’s 20-year-old winger Dani Rodriguez, according to reports from Spain.
The Gunners are said to have identified both Rodriguez and Real Madrid’s Arda Guler as possible attacking targets as the January window develops.
Rodriguez has made just one senior appearance for Barcelona but is highly rated within their academy setup.
While Guler’s future at Real Madrid may depend on how new boss Alvaro Arbeloa uses him, Rodriguez’s situation looks more fluid.
Gunners scouting Corinthians midfielder Breno Bidon
Arsenal is also said to be tracking 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder Breno Bidon, who impressed with Corinthians during their 2025 Copa do Brasil-winning campaign.
According to TNT Sports, the Gunners view Bidon as a potential long-term option to strengthen midfield depth.
The young playmaker made 56 appearances last season, earning praise for his passing range and ability to beat players in tight spaces.
With a contract running until December 2029, Corinthians are under no pressure to sell, but reports suggest he could be available for under £20 million.
Bidon’s form has already attracted interest from Italy and Portugal, meaning Arsenal may face competition if they wait until the summer. His addition would continue Arteta’s trend of integrating Brazilian talent, following the success of Gabriel Magalhaes, Martinelli, and Jesus.
Arsenal rule out Ben White exit
Amid speculation linking Ben White with a move to Everton, Arsenal have reportedly ruled out any possibility of the defender leaving this month. The Gunners have “zero interest” in sanctioning his departure midway through the season.
White remains a key component of Arteta’s backline, featuring regularly across both right-back and central defensive roles.
Despite Everton’s interest, Arsenal’s stance appears firm, with the player viewed as untouchable during the current campaign.
Meanwhile, the club’s focus off the pitch has shifted toward marginal gains. Thomas Gronnemark, the world-renowned throw-in coach, has confirmed he is now working with Arsenal, adding another layer to their set-piece strategy alongside specialist Nicolas Jover.
With key staff additions and promising transfer links, Arsenal’s January continues to reflect a club fine-tuning every detail in pursuit of long-term success.
