All is going well in Arsenal’s quest for the Champions League after a 3-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb but attentions now turn to the Premier League.

Arsenal travel to Wolves trailing leaders Liverpool by six points and know that any more slip-ups could spell the end of their Premier League title challenge.

Arsenal have received a major fitness boost ahead of the clash with Ben White returning to light training but the game may come too soon for the England defender.

Ethan Nwaneri is back available for selection and no doubt all eyes will be on Matheus Cunha as Arsenal are monitoring Cunha’s contract talks. However, Mikel Arteta should be wise to another opportunity in the market to add to his attacking depth in the Arsenal squad.

Arsenal should sign Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund

Arsenal are desperate to add an attacking option in the transfer window following the injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.

An option they should be looking at is Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi, a player who Dortmund are reportedly open to selling and is attracting interest from Napoli according to Fabrizio Romano.

The German international possesses blistering pace and has already contributed five goals and five assists in his 13 appearances for Dortmund this season.

Those numbers include a stunning hat-trick against Celtic in the Champions League, where his power and precise finishing were just too hot for the Scottish champions to handle.

Oleksandr Zinchenko could help Arsenal to secure a deal for Adeyemi

Oleksandr Zinchenko has found regular football hard to come by this season at the Gunners and the Ukrainian international could play a big part if Arsenal were to sign Adeyemi.

Borussia Dortmund are keen to sign Zinchenko this month having held ‘concrete talks’ with both Arsenal and the player’s representatives.

Dortmund’s interest in Zinchenko could be used by the Gunners in a deal to bring Adeyemi to the Emirates Stadium.

With pace, power, trickery and an eye for goal, Arsenal could do a lot worse than Karim Adeyemi this January window as they look to strengthen their squad for a push for a trophy.
