Must Buy: 3 Players Arsenal Should Look To Sign During The January Transfer Window

After the mega signing of Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal could not back it up with a couple of more decent signings and the results there for us to see. They have not performed well in the league so far despite having players like Ozil, Sanchez and Cazorla and their Champions League performance has been nothing to talk about. Manager Arsene Wenger is experienced enough to get the situation and he needs to make things right in the upcoming transfer window in January to lead his team in a respectable position this season or as has been mentioned by Jamie Redknapp, right now they are far from top four. The overall squad needs a lot of improvement and the manager could do with a couple of players in his team. We take a look at some players Arsenal could sign in January to bolster their frail looking squad.

Adrien Rabiot:

PSG would likely sell this young talented midfielder and Arsenal should snap up this opportunity. The youngster could be the long term replacement for Arteta, on whom age has taken a toll. The central midfielder could dictate terms from the midfield and can also be deployed as the defensive midfielder in times of crisis. It is true that Rabiot would need a couple of months to get adjusted to the hustle and bustle of the Premier League, but once he has done that Rabiot would be the future of the Arsenal midfield. More importantly, Rabiot could be an Arsenal player for a very nominal amount as there is just one year left in his contract and he has already rejected an extension for lack of gaming time at PSG.

William Carvalho:

Wenger refused to sign Carvalho in the summer for the fee that Sporting were demanding. But this decision can now be criticized for the display that Arsenal have given on field which highlights the immediate need of a strong defensive midfielder in the side. Flamini has not been to the level that the management would have liked and thus arises the need of Carvalho, who at 22, can be called as one of the most promising defensive midfielders around. His inclusion would immediately uplift the Arsenal midfield and they would not be bullied over by other teams at their own backyard, which they sometimes get now. If Wenger can pull this off, this would be the best transfer for them.

Diego Reyes:

Already injuries have plagued the Arsenal defence and this has posed some serious threat on their season. Diego Reyes would be able to amend that. The Porto player has not been best for his club in recent times and thus they may want to let go off him. The Mexican is a composed man and shows maturity on field, despite being only 21 years old. Reyes has the talent and the ability to make it big in the Premier League and he can be groomed by the likes of Koscielny, whom he can replace in a few years.
