French full-back issues come and get me plea to Arsenal ahead of January transfer window

Arsenal are not expected to be busy in the January transfer window.

Head of football Raul Sanllehi does not think the January transfer window is the time to make changes to the squad, although an injury to Danny Welbeck could mean the Gunners do look for attacking reinforcements.

Sanllehi said recently: "I don't believe much in the winter window. There are exceptions but if you have the right plan in the summer and the team are performing at the level you expect, you should not go to that window or try to avoid it.

"It’s there for emergencies, a big injury or if something is really not working and you need to recover there. I give much more importance to the summer windows."

However, if Arsenal are looking for a left-back, there is one all ready to join them, although they may be in the market for someone a bit better.

Anthony Goelzer has admitted that he wants to play for the Gunners and would welcome a transfer.

The 20-year-old is currently playing in the French second division for Valenciennes, making six appearances for the Athenians so far this season.

But if he was given the chance to play in the Premier League for Arsenal, it's fair to say the youngster would take it with open arms.

The full-back was asked by La Voix du Nord  where he would transfer to if he was an agent, and he responded: "Arsenal, it's my dream. Or at least in the English league. It's an incomparable championship with a lot of very big teams. All games are tight, the game never stops, with a lot of intensity. It's beautiful to watch."
