Arsenal has yet to secure any new signings this month, but speculations persist as manager Mikel Arteta seeks reinforcements for the squad. Currently on a winter break in Dubai following a strenuous Christmas fixture schedule, the Gunners are gearing up for their next match against Crystal Palace at the Emirates.
Despite financial constraints imposed by Financial Fair Play rules, Arteta is reportedly keen on bolstering both the midfield and attack. The team’s recent dip in form, winning only one of their last five games, has fueled the transfer rumors linking Arsenal to various players. 
One player drawing attention is Getafe striker Borja Mayoral, who has enjoyed an impressive season, scoring 14 goals in 22 appearances across all competitions. Arsenal reportedly made a £22 million offer for the 26-year-old, but Getafe rejected it, valuing Mayoral at £39 million. In response to the transfer speculations, Mayoral stated, “It is news that has surprised me too. I am very focused on Getafe, on a day-to-day basis.”
Another potential target for Arsenal is Everton midfielder Amadou Onana. The 22-year-old has attracted interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea, with reports suggesting it would take a bid of approximately £60 million to convince Everton to sell. While Onana’s future remains uncertain, Everton manager Sean Dyche emphasized that the player is currently an Everton asset and decisions regarding his status will be made by the club. 
Former Arsenal player Emmanuel Petit has suggested that the Gunners pursue Nice star Jean-Clair Todibo, who is also a target for Manchester United. Petit believes Todibo could be a valuable addition to Arsenal’s squad.
As Arsenal fans eagerly anticipate potential new signings, the team’s management is navigating financial limitations while striving to address areas that need reinforcement before the upcoming fixtures.
