Gunners looking at Krychowiak and McCarthy rather than long-time target Khedira following Wilshere injury, and for back-four help
Arsene Wenger is planning a major January transfer shake-up to save Arsenal’s season.
The Gunners' boss Wenger has stepped up his attempts to bring in a new midfielder after Jack Wilshere’s latest ankle problem ruled the England international out for up to three months.
And Wenger is also aiming to bring in TWO centre-backs as he looks to bolster his injury-hit defence and help that unit try to find some consistency.
Arsenal are looking at Sevilla’s Polish midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak, a defensive midfield anchorman, as a potential January.
The 24-year-old has impressed the north Londoners' scouts but Sevilla would want around £20million for him, and Italians Inter Milan are also keen.
Wenger has money to spend in January, but any deal will come down to whether the Spaniards are prepared to sell and if the Gunners decide Krychowiak is definitely the answer to some of their problems.
Everton’s James McCarthy is another potential midfield target.
Arsenal have been long-term admirers of the 24-year-old, since before he left Wigan for Goodison Park in summer 2013.
Everton would be reluctant to part with the Republic of Ireland international so the price would again be huge, even if McCarthy may be keen on a switch to the Emirates.
