Bili smo se nešto povezivali prije pola godine, Kike Marin je nešto spominjao da ga Emery želi itd.
Xhaka edging closer to Hertha Berlin (@kicker)
Next player to leave after Xhaka is probably Lacazette due to lack of game-time and club's bad run
* Although happy with their attacking options, *The Athletic* understands Arsenal are looking to strengthen in both defence and midfield.
* The arrival of Mikel Arteta could help swing the decision as he’ll doubtless have his own requirements — although Arsenal are keen to point out they’re developing a long-term recruitment strategy that is not dependent on a head coach. Even when Freddie Ljungberg was at the helm as interim head coach, the club were already drawing up a list of targets.
* It’s also worth noting that this will be the first transfer window in which technical director Edu will play a full part. The Brazilian has kept a low profile since arriving in London but has been revamping Arsenal’s recruitment department behind the scenes. There’s not only been a streamlining of personnel but a thorough evaluation of everything from digital software to scout deployment. Arsenal were keen to ensure that Edu could not be fully credited (or indeed blamed) for Arsenal’s summer but he is expected to be more prominent over the next month or so.
* For some weeks now, Arsenal have deemed central midfield to be an area in need of urgent attention, and Arteta is expected to concur with that assessment.
* Granit Xhaka may have damaged his relationship with the fans irreparably, even if he has sneaked back into the starting XI. Lucas Torreira is the subject of interest from Italy, and is unsettled in England. As for Dani Ceballos, he has not produced sufficiently to suggest Arsenal should be attempting to negotiate a permanent deal with Real Madrid.
* Given the budgetary restrictions they are operating under, it may be a case of ‘one in, one out’ in the Arsenal midfield. Xhaka is the most likely to depart, with reports suggesting he may well return to the Bundesliga.
* Near the top of Arsenal’s shopping list is a new centre-half, although again the club are unlikely to add another without at least one — most likely Shkodran Mustafi — moving on. Arsenal bought two centre-backs in the summer window but neither has been of particular use to them this season. William Saliba was immediately loaned back to AS Saint-Etienne while David Luiz has been as bad as Arsenal fans might have feared. Even setting aside his slack marking, the Brazilian’s preference to drop deep has caused Arsenal a host of tactical problems.
* Saliba is already registered as an Arsenal player, although the deal with Saint-Etienne does not contain provision for him to be recalled partway through the season. Arsenal might point to the Frenchman’s forthcoming arrival as a reason to avoid doing business but the truth is there is no outstanding candidate to be his partner. Saliba is predominantly a right-sided defender — he has even occasionally filled in at right-back for Saint-Etienne. To complement him, Arsenal need a left-sided centre-half.
* How much has the decision to allow Nacho Monreal to leave hurt Arsenal? Laurent Koscielny’s departure made more headlines, while Monreal’s was somewhat lost amid the euphoria of late swoops for Dani Ceballos, Kieran Tierney and Nicolas Pepe. However, he would have provided a reliable option at centre-back, as well as offering cover at full-back — potentially required now that Tierney and Sead Kolasinac are both out of action. It’s worth mentioning that amid persistent concerns over the regular availability of Hector Bellerin, identifying cover in both full-back positions is on Arsenal’s agenda.
* In the summer, Arsenal held preliminary talks over a move for RB Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano. Although right-footed, the France international generally plays on the left side of the central defence. He has played alongside Saliba at under-21 level, and fits the right kind of age profile for a club still looking to rejuvenate their squad.
* There are major complications to any such deal. Upamecano may be unwilling to leave Leipzig midway through their Champions League campaign. Furthermore, in the summer, English clubs were quoted as much as €100 million. Given Arsenal’s significant summer expenditure, reaching that figure in January simply isn’t realistic.
* That probably rules out the Premier League players who fit the profile. Chelsea have the option of exercising a £40 million buy-back clause for Nathan Ake, while an even greater sum would likely be required to prise Tyrone Mings (scouted extensively by Arsenal during his time at Ipswich) away from Aston Villa.
* More left-field targets may emerge. Arsenal are believed to be one of several English clubs monitoring the progress of 21-year-old Lille centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes. The 6ft 3ins left-footed Brazilian was recently called up to the country’s under-23 squad alongside Gabriel Martinelli, with a view to competing in next summer’s Olympics. Arsenal have a relationship with Lille, having brokered the Nicolas Pepe deal in the summer. Unfortunately, Gabriel’s potential involvement in the Olympic qualifying tournament in Colombia would mean him missing five Arsenal games. It may rule him out of contention.
* Fans are doubtless wondering whether Arsenal might fund any January signings by selling off one of their star strikers. Although rumours are already swirling about the futures of both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, it would take a very attractive offer for Arsenal to consider letting either of their two principal goalscorers leave. It is however a situation that will be revisited in the summer, when Aubameyang will have just 12 months to run on his contract.
* As well as looking to improve their immediate prospects with signings, Arsenal will also have an eye on the future. They made a failed bid for 21-year-old German goalkeeper Markus Schubert in the summer, and could still be in the market for a player who fits that profile.

Iskreno nijednog ja ne vidim u tom novom projektu kojeg pokušavamo. Obojica su klasni napadači i zadesili su se u pogrešno vrijeme u ovom timu.
Bolji je Laca igrac. Ovi bi vjerovatno pristali na razmjenu njih dvojice.
#ArtetaOutMikel Arteta, the Arsenal head coach, has revealed that he wanted to sign Granit Xhaka for Manchester City before the Swiss midfielder instead completed a move to north London three years ago.
“When I was going from Arsenal to City to start coaching and we were looking in that position, he was one of the players on my list. This is how much I liked him. I was happy when Arsenal signed him because I thought he was going to be a terrific player.''
