He is set to be backed again in January, with sporting director Edu looking to bring in one player to give Arteta's squad a lift for the second half of the campaign, with the aim to maintain the pace that has taken them to the top of the Premier League. Arteta would welcome a winger to add competition in the forward areas and freshen his squad for the final five months of the season. He has also looked at a central midfielder but Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz is no longer available after bids were rejected in the summer and he signed a new contract at his club. Palmeiras' Danilo has also been considered in the central role. Shakhtar Donetsk forward Mykhaylo Mudryk is wanted by several European clubs and he recently revealed his admiration for Arsenal and Arteta. Brentford were closest to signing him in the summer but a deal did not materialise. "Arsenal is a very good team. Very good coach, I like the way they play," the player told CBS Sports.
