Arsenal are looking to end a 12-year wait for the Premier League title this season, and they’ve made a start which suggests that they may not have to wait too much longer.

Arsene Wenger’s side are unbeaten in their 14 matches in all competitions, which includes six Premier League victories, and two Champions League successes.

Add in two comfortable wins over Championship opposition in the League Cup, and the Gunners are one of the most in-form teams in Europe over the past few months.

A draw at home to Middlesbrough last weekend sent them top of the league for 24 hours, when they were replaced by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City after they also drew at home, but only goal difference separates the two sides, and indeed Liverpool, at the top.

Wenger’s side are also well-placed to qualify from their Champions League group. They are level on points with Paris Saint-Germain at the top and, given that they host the French champions in their penultimate match, the Gunners will feel confident of topping the group.

Despite their great start, Wenger may feel that he needs more reinforcements to sustain a challenge in both competitions in the second half of the season, so here are THREE midfielders the Arsenal boss could look to sign in the window…

Riyad Mahrez

Arsenal were heavily linked with signing last season’s PFA Players’ Player of the year Riyad Mahrez in the summer, but the Algerian signed a new deal to remain at Leicester.

Mahrez was sensational in helping the Foxes win the Premier League last season, netting 17 goals and laying on 11 assists as Claudio Ranieri’s side achieved the impossible.

However, Leicester’s lowly league position this time around could persuade the 25-year-old to consider his options again in January.

Ranieri’s side are 12th in the Premier League, nine points behind Arsenal, and that could give the Gunners an opportunity to get their man in January.

Isco

Spanish international Isco is out of favour at Real Madrid, and seemingly on his way out of the Bernabeu.

The 24-year-old has appeared just six times this season in La Liga, starting just three of those games.

With it being unlikely that he will get offered a new deal in the Spanish capital, the midfielder is expected to want a move away soon, which has put a number of Premier League clubs on alert.

With Manchester United, Tottenham, and Manchester City all linked with the Spaniard, it is imperative that Wenger gets in their first and secures a deal for the 24-year-old.

He would get into most teams in the division so, if Arsenal don’t get him, another club will, and it could be a decision Arsenal live to regret in the future if they don’t bring him in.

Yaya Toure

One of Arsenal’s biggest weaknesses in recent years has been their physicality in the middle of the park and, although that it perhaps unfair on Francis Coquelin, who has done well, many believe that is what has limited their title ambitions in recent seasons.

However, with Yaya Toure looking likely to leave Manchester City in the future, unless his agent apologises to manager Pep Guardiola, he could the man Arsenal need in that midfield.

The Ivorian is a proven Premier League midfielder and, although he is sometimes ill-disciplined in the more defensive role, he can still do a good job of controlling the game and launching attacks.

If he becomes available in January, Wenger should try his hardest to bring him to the Emirates.
