Ideally Arsenal would li✅ke to bring in a deܫfender on a short-term basis to help cover for their injuries at the back.

Moreover, fans may imagine that the club would also want to be⭕ in a go𒉰od position to pursue a striker if the opportunity arises.

That being said, Fabrizio Romano has now provided an update on ꦕtwo Arsenal players who could be leaving.

Speaking to , Romano initially confirmed the news that Cedric Soares will find a new club this month.

But the journalist then provided a fresh update on the future of Mohamed Elneny.

Currently away with Egypt at AFCON, Romano said that it’s a real po💯ssibility that Elneny leaves Arsenal in the January transfer window.

Initially speaking🅘 about Cedric, Romano said: “He will leave. This is the expectation, and they’re looking at sol🐠utions, whether it’s something in Spain or Turkey.

“So, they’re waiting for the best soluti🔯on, even the player, and then we will see in the next few days, but I see Soares leaving.

“For Elneny, there is interest from Besiktas and other clubs, alongside interest from Saudi Arabia. So,🌱 I think it’s a possibility for him to go.”

And whilst Elneny has a strong relationship with Arsenal fans, it is probably best for all parties if he leaves👍.

At 31-years-old, the Egyptian s𒁏till has a ton to offer with his game, and he’s not going to🔴 get the chances he deserves in North London.

Elneny is already behind Jorginho in the pecking order with Thomas Partey also set to return.

That being said, it seems as if another player who doesn’t necessarily have an Arsenal future could be on their way back to the club in the January transfer window.

Nuno Tavares may have his Notti🌃ngham Forest loan deal cut short this month by his new boss, Nuno Espirito Santo.

Meaning Arteta may then have another asset he can cash-in on this m🍸onth.
