Benjamin Sesko signs as Bukayo Saka replacement secured - Arsenal's dream end to January

It may have been a quiet January so far for Arsenal, but fear not, Mikel Arteta - the transfer window isn't shut just yet. The Gunners have encountered more than their fair share of turbulence this season in their bid to win their first Premier League title in more than 20 years. And just as all clubs have their plans scrutinised in January, Arsenal are no different.
The absence of key personnel in Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus has meant that their business - or lack of - in January has been heavily questioned by fans and pundits alike. But Arsenal ARE now ready to splash the cash in the next week-and-a-half to boost their title hopes.
So, with that in mind, we're asking the million dollar question: what would the perfect end to January look like for Arsenal? We're gonna step into the shoes of Arteta and Jason Ayto and let that play out... We'll start with outgoings. There's a couple of deals to be done here. Oleksandr Zinchenko was the subject of interest from AC Milan at the start of the month. He's fallen down the pecking order since Jurrien Timber's arrival, so if we can recoup a significant chunk of the £30million we shelled out on him in 2022, we'll send him on with our best wishes.
Likewise, Jakub Kiwior has admirers. If the right offer presents itself, we're strong in defence and have the cover to cash in. Kieran Tierney is poised to return to Celtic with his contract up in the summer. With Myles Lewis-Skelly emerging as another option at full-back, we can also offer him up to the Scottish champions early to free up more funds.
