The January transfer window is starting to heat up, and Arsenal look like they could be busy.

The Gunners were the Premier League’s biggest spenders in the summer, but there are still some gaps in the squad that need filling.

Indeed, while the Gunners may be sitting pretty in fourth-place right now, their poor start to the season showed that there is still a lot of room to improve, and one surefire way to improve is to make some additions.

The London club have been linked to plenty of new signings, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting how the Gunners could line-up by the end of January.

We think that Arsenal could make two big-name signings before the window closes.

The back four remains untouched, and for good reason – Mikel Arteta’s side have looked brilliant at the back in recent months.

However, after The Athletic reported that Arsenal want to bolster their midfield, we’re expecting an arrival in that spot, and one man who could come in is Bruno Guimaraes, who has long been linked to Arsenal.

The attacking midfield options remain the same, while Gabriel Martinelli will continue to provide brilliant depth off the bench.

Arsenal need a striker. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has seemingly played his final game for the club, while Alexandre Lacazette’s contract is up in the summer.

The Gunners are reportedly the best-placed club to sign Fiorentina’s Dusan Vlahovic, and we think that’s a deal that Edu could get over the line this month.
