Arsenal may enter the market for a new forward in the January transfer window as they look to maintain their Premier League title challenge.

While no talks have taken place regarding his potential arrival at the Emirates, it is believed Paixao could move for around £25-29m in the January transfer window.

Arsenal fans hoping Mikel Arteta is set to make a host of attacking signings in what remains of the January transfer window are likely to be disappointed. Tuesday’s display of erratic finishing against Newcastle was rendered all the more painful by the sight of long-time transfer target Alexander Isak leading the Gunners’ defence a merry dance.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is personally very eager for the Gunners to go and negotiate a deal for a highly-rated forward in January.
