It's that time of year when football games take place nearly every day to fill supporters' Christmas schedule. And whilst clubs compete at both ends of the Premier League table, plans will be drawn up for the January transfer window.
Like last year, it is set to be a key month for Arsenal as the Gunners look to go the distance in the Premier League title race. A new centre-forward, defender andholding midfielder are understood to be on the agenda for Mikel Arteta, but as was the case in the summer, players will have to be sold for new faces to arrive.
Arsenal's squad consists of a number of players searching for more game time. While all eyes will be on the business technical director Edu Gaspar will complete to bolster the Gunners squad, raising millions via player sales will be as important.

Having been first-choice in his first two campaigns, Ramsdale lost his place to David Raya. The 25-year-old has managed only nine games this season, with his start in the final Champions League group game vs PSV coming solely down to Arteta's rotation.
