"Sources with a close understanding of the situation have informed me that Arsenal are big fans of talented young Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet, while Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi could be a big-name option who comes into consideration. Ousmane Diomande, also eyed by Chelsea and Palace, is another name Arsenal have been monitoring at centre-back, while they also appreciate Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown as a versatile option to fill in a few different positions in defence and midfield."
"Arsenal already have midfield issues and could turn to Ayyoub Bouaddi transfer I'm also told that Arsenal are similarly concerned about midfield, with Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi having to play so much football so far this season. One name at the top of their list for the moment is Lille wonderkid Ayyoub Bouaddi, who is also a target for Chelsea and other top clubs. AFC signed Christian Norgaard in the summer, but the former Brentford man has barely featured since his move to the Emirates Stadium, leading to sources in the industry to think that could be seen as an area the club try to improve in January. Bouaddi is an elite young talent who could perfectly fit the bill as someone who'd initially add depth but then grow into a player capable of challenging for a starting spot."
Arsenal are concerned about injuries and squad depth and could enter the January transfer market. Defensive targets include Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet, Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi, Ousmane Diomande, and Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown as a versatile defensive and midfield option. Midfield concerns stem from heavy minutes for Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi, placing Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi high on the list. Christian Norgaard has featured little since his summer move. Arsenal remain open to attacking additions to bolster a title challenge while leading Manchester City by two points.
