Arsenal are adjusting well with their life under Unai Emery and are currently fourth on the Premier League table, four points behind the leaders, Liverpool. The Gunners have won 11 of their last 12 matches in all competitions and are yet to lose a game since their 3-2 defeat against Chelsea on Matchday 2 of the 2018-2019 Premier League season.

The London-based club has scored 24 goals in the opening 10 games of the season and their defence also improved significantly under the Spanish manager. However, there are still some improvements to be done in Gunners' squad and Unai Emery could use the January transfer window as an opportunity to further enhance his team.

Right on this note, here is the list of three players Arsenal could target in January in order to win the Premier League:


#3 Hirving Lozano

Arsenal are scoring goals for fun this season and they already have netted 24 times in the opening ten Premier League fixtures. However, most of their attacking prowess is down to their strikers and they don't have any winger who is capable of scoring goals on the regular basis.

The Mexican international is one of the hottest prospects in football right now and is attracting a lot of interest from the big clubs following his performances in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Known for his speed, technique and finishing abilities, Lozano joined PSV Eindhoven in 2017 and quickly became a fan favourite with his impressive performances. He played a vital role in PSV's title-winning 2017-2018 season and contributed 17 goals along with 11 assists.

The former CF Pachuca player has started strong this season and already registered eight goals and three assist in the opening ten Eredivisie games.

Hirving Lozano was linked with Arsenal during the summer transfer window and Gunners need to pay a reported fee of €60 million to bring the Mexican to the Emirates Stadium.

#2 Kastos Manolas

Arsenal's defence improved significantly under Unai Emery and the Gunners have conceded just 13 goals in the opening ten matches. However, their defence still looks average if we compare them with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool. Hence, they need a new centre-back to take their backline to the next level.

Quick, strong and an absolute monster in the air, Kostas Manolas is one of the best defenders in Serie A ever since he arrived at the Italian capital from the Greek club, Olympiacos in a £10.3m deal in 2014.

He would bring composure to the Arsenal's backline that the Emirates stadium is lacking and would provide added insurance for goalkeeper Bernd Leno. He is very confident with the ball at his feet and completed 388 passes in the league with an accuracy of 89.4%.

#1 Kieran Tierney

With an ageing Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac consistently on the treatment table, Arsenal needs a new left-back for moving their team forward. Celtic's Kieran Tierney is currently among the best young left-backs in the world and would be a great addition for the Gunners.

The 21-year-old Scot is an attacking fullback who is a threat going forward and unlike many attacking fullbacks, he is defensively sound as well. He played 90 league games for Celtic thus far, scoring five times.

He won three Scottish Premiership titles with the Scottish giants and was the part of PFA Scotland Team of the Year (Premiership) on two occasions. He has won three PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year awards along with one Scottish Player of the Month accolade.

Kieran Tierney was linked with Arsenal last season and the Gunners could turn their attention towards the talented youngster once again for fixing their left-back position for the years to come.
