Arteta has finalized Arsenal's priorities for the winter transfer window

Arsenal's head coach, Mikel Arteta, has outlined his priorities for the upcoming winter transfer window.

The Gunners' manager ideally aims to secure the services of four new players in January, as reported by The Independent. It's indicated that the Spanish tactician seeks a forward, a midfielder, and two defenders to bolster the squad's competitiveness for the title challenge.

Previously, Arsenal was reportedly interested in signing a star from Aston Villa, although negotiating with the Birmingham-based club might pose challenges.

Additionally, there are rumored interests from the Gunners in the defender Inacio Goncalo from Sporting Lisbon and his teammate, forward Victor Gyökeres.

Arsenal currently stands at the top of the Premier League table after 17 matches played, amassing 39 points. Arteta's team holds a one-point lead over Liverpool. On December 23rd, both teams will clash in a decisive battle for the top spot in the Premier League.
