January hopes:
Arsenal probably need a backup striker option, with Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema being ambitiously targeted. Although Olivier Giroud is playing superbly, the Gunners currently have only Nicklas Bendtner in reserve as an out and out striker option, with Theo Walcott and Lukas Podolski just coming back from injury now. On a similar note, a centre-back could be recruited if Thomas Vermaelen leaves, although it’s unlikely Arsene Wenger would want to break up the impressive Koscielny/Mertesacker partnership.
