Arsenal could have a busy January transfer deadline day as they continue to be linked with some incomings and outgoings.
The Gunners have faced a quiet window so far, with no signings made throughout the month until this point. On top of that, there have been zero permanent exits, with only a few loans confirmed in January so far.
It comes at a time where the north London outfit could be in desperate need of some fresh faces to inject some life into their Premier League title push. After narrowly missing out on silverware last year, the chance to lift a trophy remains possible this time around for Arsenal.
There have been concerns over the depth in defence, creativity in midfield and the lack of a clinical finisher in the forward ranks so far. With the transfer window offering a chance to bolster their options, here’s a look at the latest deals Arsenal could complete on deadline day.
Dusan Vlahovic transfer
A name that has been continually linked with Arsenal in recent years is that of Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker impressed at Fiorentina before snubbing the Gunners in favour of joining Juventus, where he has been in streaky form.
HITC Football understands that Arsenal are continuing to track Vlahovic and his contract situation, due to its expiration in 2026. Whether that would be enough to trigger a last-minute deal in January remains to be seen though.
Martin Braithwaite transfer
HITC Football understands that Arsenal are one of a number of clubs that have been made aware of the availability of striker Martin Braithwaite this January. With the Gunners in need of a striker option this month, the Espanyol forward could prove to be a useful short-term solution before looking elsewhere in the summer.
The 32-year-old is impressing in the Spanish Segunda division, but it remains to be seen if Mikel Arteta would make such a move.
Cedric Soares transfer
Plenty of exits could be on the cards to help raise funds for other Arsenal transfers, including that of Cedric Soares. The right-back has played twice in all competition this season for the Gunners and has a contract that expires in the summer.
A number of clubs have been linked with a move for the Portuguese international, though LondonWorld claims that Turkish giants Galatasaray are eyeing a swoop in the coming days – with a deadline of February 9 in their transfer market.
Victor Osimhen transfer
Arsenal’s search for a striker has seen them rumoured with plenty of players, but one at the top of most people’s list is Victor Osimhen. The Napoli star recently signed a new contract, but one that is reported to include a release clause that can be triggered to confirm a transfer switch.
CalcioNapoli recently reported that the Gunners had been in contact over a move in recent days, though a deal in January would be a real long shot.
