Arsenal Transfers: 10 Deals That Could Happen In January

9. Pedro IN

Once a key player under former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola, Pedro has seen his first-team opportunities dwindle since Luis Enrique took over at the Camp Nou. Arsene Wenger is reportedly prepared to offer the winger a chance to trade Spain for north London and a reunion with former teammate Alexis Sanchez. Reports indicate Arsenal will table a £26 million bid for the 27-year-old, who has managed just six starts in La Liga so far this campaign. Despite his sporadic involvement in the first-team, Pedro has produced a decent return in all competitions with six goals and three assists. Talk of Wenger readying an offer for the opening day of the January transfer window suggests adding top-quality wide players will be a priority for the Frenchman this winter. But with Theo Walcott nearing his return from a serious knee injury, do Arsenal need he need another winger? Probably. Aside from Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alexis Sanchez are the only other natural wide men in the squad, and the Gunners heavily rely on the latter to put it mildly. A winter acquisition to relieve expectation on the Chilean can only help the club's title charge. Probability: 7/10
