Arteta is keen to sign a centre-back to improve things at the back.
Boateng is on his radar, with the Bayern Munich star likely to be available in the New Year.
The Germany international is a Bayern legend but has managed just eight appearances this season under both Niko Kovac and Hans-Dieter Flick.
The Gunners reportedly have Rugani as a backup.
The Italy international has struggled for game time at Juventus this season, making just three appearances since Maurizio Sarri’s arrival as manager.
For boating see luiz - two well past it centre backs, whose motivation is minimal and is just interested in seeing out their careers.
If we intend signing a centre back, please sign someone a few years younger with something to prove at least
Most of the past 2 days transfer talk seems to be around how desperate Arteta is for Xhaka to stay
I presume the same people who slammed Wenger and Emery for consistently playing the prick now think its a move of tactical genius to keep the arsewipe who told the fans to fuck off and has given more points away than Santa has presents?
He did ok at Bournemouth so must make him a superstar now

You're beginning to sound bitter mate, you need a holiday from the Arsenal. If you time it right you'll be back in time for the end of season relegation battle
Hertha should be told in no uncertain terms...……. if you want him now you have to stump up the cash now, otherwise fcuk off and look elsewhere
In principle I agree with you Augie but given that it’s Xhaka, the sooner he fucks off the better!
We need money to buy a centre back, and letting that swiss shit go out on loan wont help that
Absolutely. Hertha have got new investment and can afford £20M for Xhaka so they can either pay up or fu.ck off. Let Xhaka rot in the reserves which is where the cu.nt should be until somebody pays hard cash for him.

Agree 1,000%, but for some reason I truly cannot fathom Arteta seems to rate the useless cuntbag. We should Fuckthecunt OFF! asap.

To be honest I am hoping that Arteta is just trying to manage him out of the club. I think there was talk that he was out of the squad because of illness but not sure if that was the case. The problem is that our squad is so shit and injury stricken that Arteta probably feels that he has to keep him onside, until he has a cheque for the useless cu.nt in hand, in case he has to play him
We understand that Eddie Nketiah will be recalled from #LUFC by #Arsenal in the next 48 hours. #BristolCity lead the chase for his signature, but competition from Brentford, Sheffield Wednesday and another Championship side. Very good chance the Robins will land the forward.

Scored a few goals but always after coming on as a sub, a complete wast of time going on loan there.
Mikel Arteta will have money to spend in January... with the Arsenal manager pursuing Red Bull Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano | @SamiMokbel81_DM https://t.co/Pa3CYQDXgLhttps://t.co/DLGjHF39LY
With Saliba being recalled, Arteta needs to hit hard for Upmecano, DAZ or even someone like Romagnoli. No reason for anyone in their right mind on that Board to bring anything apart from CBs. Knowing us, we need defensive help but we go and get Volland.
With Granit almost signed for Hertha, that frees up a space and we can get either a seasoned CDM or someone like Tonali who is eyeing up his move from Empoli.

RE:Saliba Read somewhere that we don't have that option, but not 100% sure if it's true.
