Arsenal are looking at Alex Baena, Endrick, Antonio Nusa and Junior Kroupi as potential winger signings, should they make a move in January.

Mikel Arteta wants to bolster his attack with pace after summer movement that left his forward line thin, but any deal is likely dependent on an outgoing.

There is an obvious contrast in midfield, where he has a range of options, which means a number of clubs - including Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea - feel a deal for Martin Zubimendi may be possible.

Should that happen, Arsenal would be expected to use the money to buy a wide player, with Arteta wanting a transition player who can carry the ball up the pitch at pace and also be effective in tight spaces.

Kroupi is the ideal candidate, but it is seen as unlikely that Bournemouth do a deal until the summer.

Arsenal are consequently surveying options, with Atletico's Baena, Real Madrid's Endrick and Leipzig's Nusa seen as potentials.

The potential availability of Zubimendi could also give Arsenal further leverage, since both Atletico and Madrid want him. A swap isn't considered impossible, while that still allows Arsenal to move for Kroupi at a later date.
