Arsenal are ready to act in the January transfer market as they bid to add a forward with Alexander Isak, Nico Williams ans Benjamin Sesko all on their shortlist

The January transfer window is here and all 20 Premier League teams will be keeping their eyes and ears open to opportunities to strengthen their squads. But who needs to strengthen, and where, in the next month?

Former Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah has been named the "biggest" Premier League "flop of the season" as his £30m move to Crystal Palace "hasn't worked".

Wolves' star Matheus Cunha, who has often been their standout player this season, and Bryan Mbeumo at Brentford are also on their shortlist. Mbeumo remains a key figure at Brentford, and they would be very reluctant to lose him mid-season.
