Arsenal take on Brighton & Hove Albion tomorrow in what will be their final fixture of 2022 before the new year and before the January transfer window opens.
The Gunners continue to be linked with multiple players in different positions and it could end up being a busy transfer window as they look to improve their squad for a serious push at the Premier League title.

Here is how the North London club’s starting XI, which football statistics site Transfermarkt values at a whopping £520m, could potentially look at the end of the transfer window if the latest speculation turns out to be true:
5. LB - Kieran Tierney
Oleksandr Zinchenko’s return to full fitness will have Arsenal well covered at left back with both the Ukrainian and his Scottish teammate amongst the best operators in that position in the division
6. CM - Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
Recent speculation has the Napoli midfielder being linked with a move to North London with Arsenal said to be in ‘pole position’ - but the Serbian has been tipped for a move to the Premier League before which has so far failed to materialise
7. CM - Martin Odegaard
The skipper will continue to drive the team forward from the heart of midfield in the second half of the season but could find himself with more than one new teammate alongside him in the engine room
8. CM - Youri Tielemans
The transfer saga surrounding the Belgian has carried on from the summer with Arsenal still being heavily linked while Newcastle United may not have fully cooled their reported interest either
