Arsenal considers winger Dani Rodriguez or Arda Guler
Reports suggest that Arsenal is looking at FC Barcelona‘s 20-year-old winger Dani Rodriguez. The club is also eyeing Real Madrid’s Arda Guler as potential attacking options as the January transfer window approaches.
Rodriguez has had one senior appearance for Barcelona but is highly regarded within their youth system.
Guler’s future at Real Madrid may depend on new coach Alvaro Arbeloa’s plans, whereas Rodriguez’s situation seems more uncertain.
Gunners expecting to sign midfielder Breno Bidon
Arsenal is monitoring 20-year-old Brazilian midfielder Breno Bidon, who shone with Corinthians during their 2025 Copa do Brasil win.
As reported by TNT Sports, Arsenal sees Bidon as a potential long-term addition to strengthen their midfield.
Last season, he made 56 appearances, praised for his passing and ability to navigate tight spaces.
With a contract running until December 2029, Corinthians are not pressured to sell, but he could be available for under £20 million.
Bidon is attracting interest from clubs in Italy and Portugal, so Arsenal may face competition if they delay until summer. His signing would continue Arteta’s pattern of bringing in Brazilian talent, following Gabriel Magalhaes, Martinelli, and Jesus.

Amid rumors of a potential transfer for Ben White to Everton, Arsenal has stated that the defender will not be leaving this month. The club has “zero interest” in allowing his departure during the season.
White is considered an important part of Arteta’s defense, regularly playing in both right-back and central defensive roles.
Despite Everton’s interest, Arsenal remains firm, viewing him as an essential player this season.
On the coaching front, the club’s focus has turned to small improvements, with Thomas Gronnemark, a skilled throw-in coach, officially joining Arsenal. He will work alongside set-piece specialist Nicolas Jover.
With significant staff changes and promising transfer links, Arsenal’s January activities reflect a commitment to fine-tuning the team for long-term success.
