Arsenal could be set for a busy end to the January transfer window as both incomings and outgoings are potentially on the table in the final few days. The Gunners have already conducted some business to bolster the squad amid a race for the title, adding two new signings.
The first was Leandro Trossard from Brighton on an initial £21million fee, with the forward offering quality in depth with versatility across the frontline. Following shortly after was Jakub Kiwior, another versatile player who joined from Spezia and at 22 years old, is already a full Poland international.
Further strengthening could be on the horizon though as football.london understands that the Gunners made an initial bid worth £60million to sign Brighton star Moises Caicedo. The Seagulls rejected the offer, but it remains to be seen if another push will be made in the final days of the window.

While incomings are seen by some as necessary to capitalise on the league position, there's also a desire to strike a balance within the squad. That could mean exits for those less involved, similar to the previous year that saw Edu clear out some of those that needed to leave.
football.london understands that defender Cedric Soares is on the verge of completing a loan move to Fulham for the remainder of the season. It's a move that would free up a space in the squad, with the Portugal international struggling for game time so far this campaign, with injuries having an impact.
Fulham boss Marco Silva may have dropped a hint on the deal being close to going through, telling reporters: "(I am hoping we will add) two players, probably two players. If you ask me if I’m thinking we are close to finishing something, we should be because a few more days and the market is going to close.
"We should be closer, and we hope that we can do something before the end of the market. Probably some players they can go and probably two players they should come and they should sign deals before the end of the market, but we will see and we can hope."
