Despite the arrival of Unai Emery this season, Arsenal's start to the Premier League didn't live up to the expectations. But as the season has progressed, the Gunners have found their mojo and are now looking like possible challengers for the title.
Their Europa League campaign has been great so far too.
The January transfer window is the next stop, and every club would be looking forward to breaking the bank and purchasing the best of the best. Arsenal would want to add more depth to their current lineup, and it can easily be achieved under the watchful eye of Emery.
Every single position can be amped up in January, but only if the Gunners decide to spend more. Here is a look at three signings that can really make the difference for Emery's side.
#3 Youri Tielemans - AS Monaco
The Belgian midfielder is looked at as one of the future prospects in world football, and has drawn comparisons to the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Andres Iniesta for his versatility as a midfielder.
His inclusion in Unai Emery's side will only bring depth to the current lineup. With his interplays and passing, Tielemans can create the kind of dimension that Arsenal really needs to climb the Premier League table.
His transfer value has dropped down to €20million, something Arsenal can take advantage of. With Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira in the midfield, Tielemans could have a problem finding a spot, but if Emery is to play a 4-3-3, he can surely fit in as a first choice.
#2 Leon Bailey - Bayer Leverkusen
The Jamaican has grabbed plenty attention ever since his arrival to the German side in 2017. He has been a revelation with his pace and dribbling abilities, something Arsenal could use in order to strengthen their left-flank.
Bailey is making the Bundesliga side a difficult team to face. The €45 million-rated winger is by far one of the most exciting prospects in the German League.
While Arsenal are not short of attacking options, Bailey could be a very crucial inclusion in terms of being both a first team player and a possible backup for some of the forwards. He can also be deployed as a central midfielder or an attacking midfielder as has played in these positions in the past with his current side.
#1 Milan Skriniar
The Slovak international is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the fastest rising stars in Europe, and has grabbed the attention of some of the most prestigious clubs - including Barcelona. The 23-year-old, who is currently playing for Internazionale, has been a topic of discussion due to his physical presence and leadership qualities, which he uses to control the back four of the defense.
With his introduction, Skriniar could combine with Mustafi to complete the Arsenal defense and bring more depth to the back four in every way possible. From hard-hitting tackles to clearing the lines, Skriniar has it all; he is considered by many to be one of the most complete defenders in the world.
Tight defense is what the Gunners really need in order to continue their search for supremacy this season, and Skriniar can help achieve that.
