The January window is just around the corner, which will allow every club to shake up their squads for the second half of the campaign.

Business in the new year can be vital in regards to a side’s overall season, and following Arsenal’s woeful form in recent months, it could be a busy few weeks at the Emirates.

Two players who have been linked with exits are Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira.

Former captain Xhaka was involved in a well-known altercation with the Arsenal supporters following his substitution against Crustal Palace, while Torreira has grown frustrated over his role under Unai Emery.

The duo, who like to ply their trade just in front of the back four, have been linked with moves to AC Milan, with former Gunners chief Ivan Gazidis now associated with the Italian giants.

So, with the pair potentially set for Emirates exits in the new year, we’ve decided to look at 10 holding midfielders the Gunners could target to replace them.
