Arsenal Transfers: 7 Players Linked to Gunners in January Window

Robin van Persie proved that the Gunners have at least one weapon this weekend as he single-footedly earned three points for his club.

However, it is going to take more than just RVP to keep the Gunners on the up in the coming months, and definitely for the coming seasons.

The transfer rumors have been swirling for weeks now over who Arsene Wenger is set to chase, and who the Gunners really need.

Without a doubt there is a lot of room for improvement at the Emirates, and here are some of the most recently linked players to the London club.

Alex

Chelsea defender and thundering free kick specialist Alex has been linked with the Gunners since the end of the summer transfer window.

Recently his possible move across London has resurfaced according to CaughtOffside.com.

Yoann Gourcuff

Arsenal continue to be linked with former AC Milan, Borbeaux, and now Olympique Lyon midfielder Yoann Gourcuff.

The last two seasons he has been circling around his form and a move to a club under a top manager like Arsene Wenger could be just the thing he needs to break out into his past greatness.

Moussa Sow and Eden Hazard

Arsene Wenger continues to be linked with a second Lille raid in the January transfer window after having already snared Gervinho from the French champions.

Eden Hazard has been the primary name in his Lille interests, but now it looks that he has also turned his attention to their striker Moussa Sow, as the rumors continue to point towards a January exit of Marouane Chamakh.

Lucas Biglia

Arsenal are reportedly in the market for RSC Anderlecht midfielder Lucas Biglia.

The 25-year-old Argentine was voted the 2007 Belgian Footballer of the Year during his second season in Belgium and has helped his club win two Belgian Championships. He is under contract until 2015.

Gabriel Torje

The latest Lionel Messi comparison is Udinese and Romanian international winger Gabriel Torje.

Dubbed the "Pocket Rocket," the 5'5" Torje is the latest player to truly burst onto the Serie A scene and garnish acclaim across Europe.

His performance this season is a big reason for Udinese's great start to their campaign, and Torje is a prime target for Arsene Wenger in January.

Aymen Abdennour

Aymen Abdennour has claimed that Arsenal are in the hunt for his signature from French Ligue 1 side Tolouse.

His versatility to play either full back position of as a winger has him believed a great weapon for the Gunners, and at only 22 years old, is in line with the board's buy-young policy

Hulk

FC Porto lost their most prolific striker Radamel Falcao to Atletico Madrid over the summer.

It now appears that their remaining weapon of choice in Hulk could be a target of Arsene Wenger.

There is no question that the Gunners need another out-and-out striker to partner Robin van Persie, and Hulk could be a huge addition for them.
