The January transfer window usually isn’t the most exciting time to be an Arsenal supporter, but with a top four finish slipping away and the clock ticking on several current Gunners’ contracts, a flurry of transfer activity could be on the horizon.
While the future of Riyad Mahrez seems to flip flop every hour between a move to Liverpool, Arsenal, or staying at Leicester, here are five much more promising Arsenal transfer targets for the January window.
Lucas Vazquez
Rumours have been swirling around the potential exits of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, whose contracts are both set to expire in June. If one or both do end up leaving the Emirates, Real Madrid’s Lucas Vazquez is considered a front runner to come in and take on their scoring duties.
After collecting more total appearances than anyone else for Los Blancos last season, the 26-year-old winger has been relegated mostly to sub duty, having started and finished just two La Liga matches this campaign.
According to Spain’s Don Balon, Wenger will do “anything” to see the Spaniard don a Gunners shirt.
