Arsenal’s January transfer priorities have suddenly shifted making alternative to Alexander Isak the perfect signing

WHAT Arsenal do in the current transfer window could be the difference between hunting Liverpool down or seeing another title tilt end in heartbreak. The Gunners are so close to a first Premier League title since 2003-04. Perhaps all it will take is one missing piece, one new player who can turn a game and transform one point into three.

And now's the time to bring them in. But who should they be looking to sign, can they get them, and has Mikel Arteta even got the finances to land the players he wants?. We answer all those questions and take a look at how the Gunners - in an ideal world - could line up the day after the transfer window closes.

Before the recent injuries to Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling, all eyes were on the left wing position, with competition needed for the likes of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. There is a view within the club that they need a world class talent on the left to match that of Saka on the right, who has nine goals and 13 assists in all competitions so far this term.

In comparison, Martinelli and Trossard have 10 goals and five assists combined this season. But with Saka potentially out until at least mid-March after hamstring surgery, and stand-in Ethan Nwaneri also suffering a muscular injury in the 1-1 draw at Brighton, priorities may have changed.
