Arsenal could look to spring into action in the transfer market with just 24 hours to go - with reports suggesting they could be in the market for a midfielder after an injury to Mikel Merino.
The Gunners won 4-0 at Leeds United on Saturday afternoon to take one step closer to the Premier League title, ebbing another win into the footballing calendar, and fans will be buoyed that they are setting the pace ahead of other title challengers.
However, despite the good run of form, an injury to Merino could see them dip into the transfer window, according to reports - with club chiefs doing everything possible to finally win the top-flight title after years of being second-best.
The report by talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook states that Merino's foot injury, that he picked up prior to the trip to Leeds on Saturday afternoon, could see the Gunners dip into the transfer market for a potential replacement.
Merino has been one of Arsenal's most important players since he joined, starring for the club up front in the midst of a striker crisis at the Emirates Stadium and becoming a 'world-class' player for his compatriot.
However, with Arteta admitting that specialists will be looking at Merino's foot, the Gunners could be in the market for a replacement.
