Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and the club's technical director Edu are drawing up their list of January transfer targets prior to the window opening next month.
The Gunners have made a disappointing start to their Premier League campaign. They are down in 14th place in the table after picking up 13 points from 10 matches - their slowest start to a season since 1981.
Arteta brought in seven new faces to the club during the summer but has been formulating a plan of action with Edu ahead of the winter window.
