Arsenal fought back from 3-0 down to clinch a point away on Bournemouth on Tuesday to just about keep their Premier League title hopes alive.

The Gunners were comprehensively outplayed by Eddie Howe’s side for 70 minutes at the Vitality Stadium, but late goals from Alexis Sanchez, Lucas Perez, and Olivier Giroud rescued a 3-3 draw for Arsene Wenger’s men.

However, it does mean that the Gunners drop to fifth in the Premier League table following victories for Manchester City and Tottenham, yet the latter’s win over league leaders Chelsea on Wednesday means that Wenger’s side are only eight points adrift of Antonio Conte’s men, and still just about in the title race.

Arsenal turn their attentions away from league matters this weekend though when they travel to Championship side Preston North End in the FA Cup, a competition the Gunners have won twice in the last three seasons, and 12 times overall.

Nonetheless, their draw at Bournemouth means that Wenger’s men have won just two of their last five Premier League matches, and more reinforcements may be needed in January if the Gunners are to sustain a title challenge in the second half of the season.

Thus, here are TWO players that will make Arsenal’s season should they arrive at the club this month…

Isco

Isco’s future at Real Madrid has been speculated upon regularly over the past few months, and it might finally be decided this month.

The 24-year-old midfielder has seen his first team chances slowly reduce at the Bernabeu, albeit he did start their last three La Liga matches before the international break.

Nonetheless, he was back on the bench in Madrid’s 3-0 win over Sevilla in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, and a lack of regular first team football could tempt the Spanish international to move away this month.

Unsurprisingly, several Premier League sides have been linked with the midfielder, one of which being Arsenal, and Wenger should act fast to try and secure his signature over the coming weeks.

With the future of Mesut Ozil far from certain, Isco would be a potential replacement for the German international and, even if Ozil does indeed stay at the Emirates, Isco’s quality would not go amiss, either in a more advanced role or in a slightly deeper role, possibly as a replacement for Santi Cazorla should he leave this season.

Clearly, it’s a deal Wenger should get done as soon as possible.

Marco Reus

Alexis Sanchez’s body language at the end of Arsenal’s 3-3 draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday worried many an Arsenal fan at the possibility that the Chilean may not be happy at the club.

Add that to the fact that he has yet to sign a new and improved deal at the Emirates, and this month could be a very worrying one for Arsenal supporters.

Nonetheless, the Gunners should turn their attentions to incomings, and one man they should try and bring to England is Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus, especially if Sanchez were to leave the club.

The 27-year-old was ruled out of the first few months of this season due to injury, but he has since returned and returned with a bang, having scored four and assisted four in his six matches post-injury.

Reus did get sent off in his last match against Hoffenheim on December 16, but he is one of the Bundesliga’s best players, and one that would certainly bolster Arsenal’s attacking options.

The Gunners have been linked with the German international in recent weeks, and it’s a deal Wenger should certainly try and get done this month.
