Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, is actively pursuing three players during the January transfer window to revive their stumbling Premier League title challenge. Despite leading the Premier League table on Christmas Day, the Gunners have slipped to fourth place, just one point ahead of their north London rivals Tottenham, following consecutive defeats.
Arsenal has faced difficulties in scoring goals, evident by the fact that 12 other teams have at least one player with more goals than their top scorer, Bukayo Saka. According to The Times, Arteta aims to address this issue by seeking a new forward among the three areas he plans to reinforce.
While Arsenal has been linked with Brentford’s Ivan Toney, the club is unlikely to make significant expenditures this month. Toney, valued at over £80 million, is set to return to action in two weeks after serving a suspension.

Another player on Arteta’s radar is Victor Osimhen, though his price tag may present a hurdle for a January deal. Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez is also under consideration. Alongside the pursuit of a new forward, Arteta aims to bolster the team with a full-back and a holding midfielder.
