Mikel Arteta's dream Arsenal XI if he lands two priority transfers in January window

Mikel Arteta will be hopeful that Arsenal's recruitment chiefs can boost his squad this month. The Gunners have endured a difficult season and sit six points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, who also hold a game in hand. Arteta will be looking to resurrect his side's title bid over the second half of the campaign.
But to do that, he will need reinforcements, with his squad creaking under the weight of a raft on injuries. The Gunners look set to bring in Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi at the end of the season. Arteta will be hoping for some immediate arrivals though to boost his push for silverware this campaign. Here, Mirror Football looks at how Arsenal could be lining up over the second-half of the season.

Kai Havertz has scored just seven goals so far this season, while Gabriel Jesus appears to have suffered a significant injury in the defeat to Manchester United.
Even before Jesus' injury, it was clear Arsenal needed to bring more goals into their team. With Alexander Isak out of reach, Randal Kolo Muani could be at the top of Arsenal's shopping list. The Frenchman is out of favour at PSG, who are ready to let him leave in this month's transfer window. While he has not hit the goal trail in Paris, Kolo Muani was a regular scorer for Eintracht Frankfurt.
