Hello and welcome to **football.london'**s Arsenal transfer live blog on Thursday, January 8.
The transfer window has been open for more than a week with Arsenal yet to make a move after an active summer in the markets. No deal appears imminent for an incoming arrival but they could still look to get a few deals done.
Mikel Arteta has made it clear that the Gunners will be alert to any opportunities to strengthen in the next few weeks, should the right ones present themselves.
Rodrygo, Arda Guler, Kenan Yildiz and Leon Goretzka are among the high‑profile names linked with a move to the Emirates, while the north London side will also be scouting the next top young talents. At the same time, academy stars Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly have attracted interest from elsewhere after struggling for minutes this season.
On the pitch, Arsenal face Liverpool in the Premier League this evening and the Gunners have the perfect chance to extend their lead at the top of the division. Manchester City slipped up against Brighton on Wednesday and Arsenal can go eight points clear with a win.
