AC Milan are keen on Arsenal's want-away defender William Gallas and will let Philippe Senderos, who is on loan at the San Siro from the Gunners, return to the Emirates Stadium to speed up the deal. (The Sun)

Wenger wants to buy a new centre-back before he allows Gallas to leave. The Arsenal boss is considering making bids for Fulham's Brede Hangeland and West Ham's Matthew Upson but is not interested in bringing Senderos back into the fold. (Daily Mirror)

It is not even 24 hours into the jan transfer window and I have already lost the will to live (either that or I am just knackered after being out last night). What used to be a really exciting time for fans is now a month of absolute torture for Gooners like myself as we sit and watch our rivals wheel and deal while we do fcuk all

Maybe we just need to sign that 1st player to break our duck and then the pressure will be off and there will be new signings galore at the grove

And let that player be Given... My weekly trips across the water would be far more enjoyable!

We could offer Bendy, Greedy & Eboue for Arteta but it still wouldn't happen
