The 5 players Arsenal are most likely to add to the squad in January

Nov 21, 2018

The January transfer window is edging nearer, so let’s have a look at the players Arsenal are most likely to bring in.

A report from Football.London on Wednesday took a look at the areas of the pitch Arsenal might try to improve in the winter window, and listed the five most likely additions to the squad. Let’s have a look at each one and the latest rumours on the possibility of them making the switch to North London.

4Sebastian Walukiewicz

Age: 18
Position: Centre-Back
Contract until: 2020
Club: Pogon Szczecin
Estimated transfer value: £180k

Sven Mislintat’s team are scouting Sebastian Walukiewicz ahead of the January transfer window, according to recent reports.

Pogon Szczecin defender Walukiewicz is just 18 years old, but he’s reportedly already drawing the attention of some of Europe’s top clubs. Football.London write that Mislintat has identified the Polish u20 international as a potential addition to Unai Emery’s squad, but Barcelona and Southampton are also watching the youngster.

Walukiewicz has made 12 starts this campaign for Pogon Szczecin in the Polish first tier. Even though the league isn’t nearly as competitive as some of the best in Europe, for his age that’s still pretty impressive.

If Sven Mislintat is interested, that’s a good sign too. He brought Konstantinos Mavropanos to the Premier League from the Greek Superleague last season and, other than his recent injury problems, that seems to be going pretty well.
