Arsenal look to be set for a genuinely busy January transfer window, which is certainly not always the case for the notoriously frugal north London giants.
Still, needs must, and Unai Emery has a big job on his hands to get this current squad into the top four by the end of the season.
The Spanish tactician inherited a troubled squad from Arsene Wenger in the summer, but made some decent summer signings by bringing in Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi.
Others like Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Stephan Lichtsteiner have not been quite as impressive, so more spending is surely needed to sort things out.
Luckily, talk over new signings such as James Rodriguez and Denis Suarez are really gathering pace, but the player attracting the most attention probably Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez.
Sport claim the Spain international has agreed personal terms with the Gunners after talks with Emery, whom he played under at Sevilla.
Valued at around £20million, according to the Guardian, Suarez could well end up being a real bargain for Arsenal if they can this deal done.
This is because Emery has a problem in midfield, with Aaron Ramsey looking set to leave either this month or in the summer as he nears the end of his contract.
The Wales international will no doubt be a big loss, but Suarez could be a fine like-for-like replacement as a versatile midfield player comfortable in either penalty area and also pretty handy as an option out wide.
