The Gunners are reportedly interested in Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong as a potential January target.
After spending Christmas at the top of the Premier League, the mood surrounding Arsenal changed relatively quickly as they would go on to lose their next two Premier League fixtures.
Currently sitting in fourth position, supporters will be hoping to see some new signings join this month to sure up the squad.
Although many would prefer the arrival of a striker, due to the lack of options and the reported lack of funds, a marquee deal may have to wait till the summer.
But the club are rumoured to be looking at other areas with a potential new full-back said to be high up the list.
According to German outlet BILD, the Gunners are chasing the signature of right-back Frimpong who has been exceptional for Leverkusen over the past few seasons.
Reports from TeamTalk claim the 23-year-old has a £34 million release clause in his contract that becomes active in the summer.
Although Mikel Arteta signed Jurrien Timber last year to help fix that department, the Dutch defender ruptured his ACL in his first game, ruling him out for the entire season.
Frimpong would offer a much more attacking option from full-back possessing qualities that both Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu lack.
Arsenal need players
A right back? Great Idea. Arsenal have Tomiyasu, Soares and White at right back; so definitely get another one. Meanwhile, take one of the best left backs in the league and alienate him to the point he leaves for Real Sociedad. Pure Genius.

Arsenal just need Victor Osihmen and that’s it. The rest of the positions can be filled in the summer window.
Summer targets should be:
Onana
Frimpong
Pedro Neto
and a defender
Arteta is turning into Wenger. He will end up selling a load of fringe players, earning Arsenal £80m to £100m and will not buy any new players in the winter. Just to balance the books and lick up to the directors, just like Wenger. You will all be disappointed that he will not be investing any money in any new players. Arteta and the waste of space Edu should be sacked before it’s too late.
Arsenal need just one player in january, and that is Zubimendi from Sociedad.
If we sign him, and play him on the left side of midfield instead of Havertz, I think that would help both Zinc and Martinelli.
