With just three weeks left until the January transfer window shuts, Arsenal's Mikel Arteta is considering potential new recruits.
The Gunners are having a stellar season so far and have been linked with bolstering their squad during the winter transfer window. Arteta's men secured a 4-1 victory over Portsmouth in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon, advancing to the fourth round of the tournament.
Arsenal currently sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League table and are gearing up to take on Chelsea in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final later this week. In terms of transfers, a slew of players have already been associated with a move to North London, ahead of the February 2 deadline. Here's all the latest news from the Emirates.

Marc Guehi transfer speculation
Arsenal are reportedly one of two possible destinations for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi.
Guehi's future has been the subject of fervent speculation as the January transfer window progresses, especially after a failed £35million deadline day move to Liverpool back in September, reports the Mirror.
The Athletic reports Arsenal and Liverpool are the clubs that have caught Guehi's eye, though not until the summer when his contract runs out.

Athletic journalist Sam Lee claimed on the Let Me Talk podcast: "On Monday night, I was told by somebody who knows what's going on at City, but also I think probably Palace as well, he said he thinks Guehi wants to stay until the summer and he prefers Liverpool [to City] in any case.
"Somebody else messaged me on Twitter and I know he's very good on other club stuff, he was like: 'Yeah, he wants to stay until the summer - and he prefers Liverpool and Arsenal'."
Guehi, 25, has clocked up 20 Premier League outings this season. He is expected to feature in Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad come summer.

Arsenal are said to be battling Liverpool for the services of Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet. Football Insider have claimed that the Gunners are joining the Merseyside club and Chelsea in showing interest in landing Jacquet.
Chelsea have been touted as suitors for Jacquet over recent months, but it appears Arsenal and Liverpool have now entered the race to snap up the 20-year-old.
Jacquet has been a consistent presence for Rennes in Ligue 1 this season, with the right-footed centre-back clocking up 16 league appearances so far.

It's no wonder that his club swiftly offered him a new contract in May 2025, which he promptly signed, extending his stay until 2029.
It's said that an offer worth between £25m and £35m could be enough to prise him away from Rennes.
