Who Should Arsenal Sign In January

Arsenal really strengthened in the Summer, but who should they sign in January. They still need to address areas in their squad to improve depth and improve starting positions. Although we can't address all problems, I expect some problems to be addressed in the January transfer window. So here we go!

Goalkeeper - Christian Fruchtl (Pre-Contract)

Fruchtl is a young Bayern Munich goalkeeper whose contract runs out this summer. He is very very talented and would be a very good up and coming goalkeeper to play in the under 23's or a very good back up. Fruchtl is just 19 years old and is one of the best young goalies around. I'd let his contract run out and sign a pre contract for him to sign in the summer.

Right Back - Fabricio Bustos (£15,000,000)

Arsenal desperately need a back up right back to Hector Bellerin and Fabricio Bustos could be the man. Playing in the Argentinian league for Independiente, Bustos has shown to be one of the hottest prospects around. We pay around £15,000,000 for the 23 year old and he would be a very good squad player. Bustos has been one of Independiente best players for a while and would be a big upgrade on Ainsley Maitland Niles.

Centre Back - Dayot Upamecano (£50,000,000)

Dayot Upamecano is a very strong, athletic and pacey young centre back that will bring a lot to the struggling centre back position. Upamecano is already better than all of Arsenal's current centre back by a country mile and with Upamecano already stating he has been in talks with the Gunners, he could be a viable option. Arsenal already have made a £60m bid but they have been pushed to the £92m release clause. But, with 18 months on his contract and the player wanting out, we could get him for less than £60m. Would be a great signing.

Left Winger - Ryan Fraser (£10,000,000)

Arsenal now desperately need a winger after losing Alex Iwobi and could go for a better player for £30,000,000 cheaper than what they sold Iwobi for, in Ryan Fraser whom they were previously linked to. The Scotsman will have 6 months left on his contract and £10,000,000 maximum would definitely be enough for the winger. He was the 2nd highest assister in the Premier League last season and would be an amazing squad player. He is at the moment, better than Iwobi and would be a big improvement on the squad while raking in £30,000,000.

4 signings should be enough for January and would massively improve (although 1 would come in the summer). I also think Arsenal next summer should sign another back up left back, another midfielder (as well as signing Ceballos on a permanent), a striker, another winger and potentially another goalkeeper. I will make a separate post about who Arsenal should sign next summer very soon. I don't think we should sell anyone too and keep the squad close without squad disharmony. Maybe send out a few players on loan. Comment who you think we should sign.
