So I hear from my sources (hear that all the time don't we !) that we are set to sign Sebastian Giovinco from Parma in January. He is 24 and a attacking midfielder.
My Source - A good friend who's son plays in the Scottish league. Lets wait and see , thats all I can say.

We were linked to this player whilst he was at Juve, somehow I doubt we will sign him. I have a feeling Wenger is looking at more powerful taller players.

i think arsene will do his usual in jan and be very frugal in his dealings- no big bucks signings.
brek shea sounds like a wenger move, will be cheap and convertible from wide player to striker- and you all know he likes to do this.
paul pogba was a previous target and will be available on a pre contract so man u maybe persuaded to part for a cheap fee.
defence will probably be reassessed in summer.
i think we will see more players leaving than arriving in jan.

Pogba and shea sound more realistic and likely than harad 30mil, goetze 30mil podolski 20mil doumbia 25mil etc etc etc.

So Wenger likes to convert wide player to striker, the only one he has done so is Henry. If you look the other way (strikers forced to play as wide players):
1. Bendtner
2. Arshavin
3. Walcott

what about van persie, wide man now striker and walcot will be a striker soon enough.
arshavin was an a.m not a striker and bendtner is all round pants

Walcott Has Never Played As A Striker As A Professional

Who says Pogba is available on pre contract? silly paper talk. his contract terms are undisclosed, but rumours are he is tied down til Summer of 2013, so would not be able to sign precontract til Jan 2013

Arsenal have made contact to Gladbach over Reus. Their manager has been talking in a German paper and has said this:
Gladbach manager Favre on Reus to Arsenal: "Jens Lehmann has given Wenger an advice. After that Arsène has called me."
Favre: "I had to be honest. I told Wenger he (Reus) was a very good player. But I want to keep him"
He has a release clause of about £15 million and has openly said he is a fan of Arsenal so it is up to us to make a move if we want him.

He is going to Bayern - we will really struggle to get him. Of the young exciting prospects, I think Eriksen is the most plausible - given our fantastic relationship with Ajax

And I would take Eriksen over Reus any day

Arsenal's main transfer target in January will be a striker.
Wenger is believed to have £20m for transfer fees to spend in January.
Edin Hazard won't be targeted in January but if still available in the summer will become a target.
A potential loan deal for Kaka has been rumoured but the only stumbling block will be wages.
Jermaine Defoe has also been discussed. This deal could happen as the player is frustrated with the lack of game time at Spurs. This would cost between £9m - £12m.

To the first poster -my thoughts exactly. That said, doesn't mean he will be allowed to use all or even half of it.

Wenger doesnt have 20 million he has around 50-60 million as the board and especially gazidis have said they are giving wenger a big financial backing for january.

Kaka on loan. Your joking right. He is starting to get back to his best form again for Madrid. Ozil doesnt start every week anymore. Check the stats
