Mikel Arteta fumes at Newcastle’s winning goal against Arsenal<\/h3>\n

Former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher has told Mikel Arteta that he must address two significant issues in his squad during the January transfer window if Arsenal are to push for the Premier League title. The Gunners have made a strong start to the season, though their defeat at the hands of Newcastle highlighted the weaknesses in their team.<\/p>\n

Although Anthony Gordon\u2019s goal at St James\u2019 Park has been overshadowed by controversy, Arsenal\u2019s display left plenty to be desired and their absence of a world-class No 9 was apparent. Speaking after the game, Carragher told Sky Sports that the Emirates Stadium outfit need reinforcements at both ends of the pitch if they are to push Manchester City for the title.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave Arsenal got a centre-forward and a goalkeeper who can win you the league? I don\u2019t think they have. When you think of vital positions where teams win leagues, it\u2019s in both boxes,\u201d said the former England international. \u201c\u2018It wasn\u2019t a mistake as such to replace Aaron Ramsdale, as Ramsdale wasn\u2019t going to win you the league. But the guy he\u2019s chosen (David Raya) right now to come in is absolutely all over the place.\u201d Express Sport takes a look at four stars who could bolster Arsenal\u2019s title chances in January\u2026<\/p>\n

Ivan Toney (Brentford)<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is no secret that the Gunners are keen on Ivan Toney, and recent reports of his \u00a3100million valuation are unlikely to deter the interest. The striker possesses all of the qualities that Arsenal lack in the final third, and acquiring the services of the Brentford star would be another major sign of intent from the north Londoners given that Chelsea and Tottenham are also monitoring his situation closely.<\/p>\n

Santiago Gimenez (Feyenoord)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feyenoord have made a sensational start to the season in the Eredivisie, with Santiago Gimenez playing a central role in that success. The Mexico international has scored 13 goals and assisted three in 11 league appearances, and the striker could be a more cost-efficient way for Arsenal to address their lack of a focal point in the final third. Top clubs around Europe are also interested in Gimenez, though being the final piece of the puzzle in a team challenging for the Premier League could prove persuasive.<\/p>\n
