ARSENAL is open to considering transfer offers for three players in January, as per recent reports.

The Gunners currently hold a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League, having accumulated 26 points from 11 matches.

However, as the team is aware, they cannot afford to become complacent.

As a result, the transfer team at Emirates Stadium has been strategizing for the upcoming January transfer window.

A significant summer expenditure of £250 million brought in players such as Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, and Piero Hincapie on an initial loan, leaving the club's finances stretched.

Consequently, Arsenal's approach in the New Year market is expected to be “reactive” rather than “proactive,” according to the Daily Mail .

The report suggests there is a “95 percent” likelihood that the current squad will remain intact, but three players could depart if suitable offers are received.

One of the most notable players in this situation is Martinelli.

The 24-year-old Brazilian had been in excellent form, contributing four goals and one assist across all competitions, before falling down the pecking order and suffering a groin injury in October.

He was omitted from the latest international squad but is expected to be fit for Sunday’s North London derby.

However, significant interest from abroad could mean that Martinelli's appearance in this match might be his last, as the club “would consider” a substantial offer from the Middle East.

The scenario is similarly concerning for defender Ben White.

White, a four-time international, has only started one league match this season due to limited playing time.

Arsenal is reportedly “open to offers” for the 28-year-old, who was acquired from Brighton for £50 million in 2021.

Meanwhile, young talent Lewis Skelly may also be a candidate for a loan move in January to gain essential experience.

The 18-year-old, who played a key role in helping England win the Under-21 European Championships this summer, has logged 425 minutes of first-team action so far this season.

However, the club recognizes that the promising attacker requires consistent playing time to enhance his development.

Like Martinelli and White, Arsenal will consider offers for Skelly if they are appropriate.

Returning from the international break has created a challenge for Arteta, following an injury to Gabriel Jesus.

Jesus sustained a muscle injury during Brazil’s friendly match and was subsequently sent home.

Arteta is expected to provide an update on his condition on Friday. If the injury is more than minor, he will join teammates such as Gyokeres and others in the treatment room.

Fortunately, Madueke and other players are anticipated to return in time for the derby.
