We now have 44 players reported as being in Arsenal’s sights for a January transfer. The most commonly mentioned players are
- Mykhaylo Mudryk: 17 listings
- Danilo: 10 listings
- Cody Gakpo: 9 listings
- Marcus Thuram: 8 listings
- Youri Tielemans: 8 listings
- Jude Bellingham: 7 listings
- Memphis Depay: 6 listings
- Noah Okafor: 6 listings
Obviously, most of this stuff is just made up by websites, as we know that over the years we have been measuring this the number of accurate predictions runs at between 1% and 4% of the players listed.
However this year we are tracking the number of players who get repeat listings by the same website. Top of that list is Mykhaylo Mudryk with four repeats by the same website, followed by Danilo and Cody Gakpo each with three repeats.
Here’s the full list – we’ll keep tracking til the window “slams shut” and presumably breaks the glass.

The Gabriel Injury Crisis and the players we are signing
- Is the injury to Gabriel equivalent to the assault on Eduardo in 2008?
- Gabriel injury: why no replacement is needed
- It never rains but the journalists want Arsenal to drown in a mess of their own making
- How the value of Arsenal’s squad has increased more than any other club this season
- Arsenal’s 25 man squad, and how it will accomodate the under 21s as they move up.
