Who are Arsenal linked with this January transfer window and what are their chances of signing?
Arsenal face a pivotal moment in the January transfer window as injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka leave their attacking options alarmingly thin.
Sunday’s FA Cup exit against Manchester United exposed a squad running on empty, with confidence low and key players sidelined.
Reinforcements are no longer a luxury but a necessity if Arsenal are to stay competitive in the Premier League title race and Champions League.
Arteta and Arsenal will no doubt make it a matter of urgency to onboard at least one player in January, but who could it be?

Arsenal Transfer Odds & Rumours
Bryan Mbeumo - 17% Chance (5/1)
Bryan Mbeumo is a best price of 10/1 with William Hill but as short as 5/1 elsewhere to move to Arsenal this January.
Bryan Mbeumo's clinical form, with 13 Premier League goals this season, makes him an interesting option for Arsenal.
He is currently averaging a goal involvement every 1.41 games.
The Brentford winger's versatility, proven by his effectiveness as both a wide player and striker, fits Arsenal’s tactical flexibility.
With a rumoured £50m price tag and potentially interest from rivals in the summer, now could be the time for Arsenal to get their hands on Mbeumo and add a direct goal threat to Arsenal’s attacking options.
There are rumours that Arteta is a long-term admirer of the French forward.
Liam Delap - 11% Chance (8/1)
Liam Delap is currently a best price of 8/1 with Sky bet to move to Arsenal this transfer window.
Liam Delap has impressed for Ipswich Town, netting eight goals since his £15m move from Manchester City.
The 21-year-old clearly posseses a lot of raw talent and is a physical presence up front - something Arsenal are seriously lacking.
Former England striker Gary Lineker said he had been impressed by the 21-year-old and added: "Arsenal could go for a young, up-and-coming one, because once they're proven you can't get them.
Marcus Rashford - 11% Chance (8/1)
Marcus Rashford is a best price of 8/1 with various bookmakers to make the move to rivals Arsenal from Man United this window.
Marcus Rashford’s uncertain Manchester United future after falling down the Old Trafford pecking order following the arrival of Ruben Amorim has sparked rumors of a move to Arsenal.
The 27-year-old’s desire for a "new challenge" could be a perfect match for the Gunners, who’d benefit from his pace, skill, and goal-scoring pedigree.
It is no secret that the Englishman has not been himself in recent years but if he can return to his form in the 2022-23 season and the seasons before that, he could be a real asset to Arsenal.
Securing Rashford would be a statement signing, though meeting his £300,000-a-week wage demands might prove a stumbling block.
Jhon Duran - 11% Chance (8/1)
John Duran is a best price of 8/1 with Bet Victor to make the switch to the Gunners this January.
Jhon Duran’s impact at Aston Villa, with 12 goals this season despite playing just 11 90 minutes, showcases just how clinical the Villa man can be.
Renowned for his knack for stepping up in crucial moments, he has scored five goals this season after the 79th minute, often proving to be the game-changer.
Despite signing a long-term deal, Villa’s recent acquisition of Donyell Malen raises questions about Duran’s future.
Arsenal are reportedly keen to pounce on this opportunity however, rumours suggest that Aston Villa have issued a firm hands-off warning to Arsenal, making it clear they have no plans to sell Jhon Duran during the January transfer window.
Viktor Gyökeres - 9% Chance (10/1)
Victor Gyökeres is as short as 10/1 to move to Arsenal this summer but can be found as long as 18/1 with Unibet.
Viktor Gyökeres has been a revelation at Sporting, scoring 21 goals in just 17 league matches.
The former Coventry City forward’s clinical nature and physicality make him the perfect option for Arsenal.
According to various sources, the North London club have ‘growing interest’ in signing Sporting attacker.
With a hefty €100m release clause, Gyökeres would be an expensive acquisition, but desperate times might call for desperate measures for Arteta.
Alexander Isak - 14% Chance (6/1)
Isak is a best price of 20/1 with various bookmakers to make a move to Arenal but can be found as short as 6/1 elsewhere.
Alexander Isak’s fantastic form for Newcastle, with 14 goals in 15 matches, solidifies his reputation as one of Europe’s best strikers.
Arsenal witnessed his quality firsthand in their Carabao Cup loss when he scored one and made one in their 2-0 loss.
However, Newcastle have made it very clear they don't want to sell and Isak's price to stay at Newcastle (1/100) suggests this transfer is almost certainly not happening in this window.
