How Arsenal Could Line Up With Hazard And Mudryk After January Transfer Swoop

In a bid to fortify their team in the Premier League Title chase, Arsenal has been linked with a number of targets in this January transfer window.

Mykhailo Mudryk has been the primary target of the Gunners so far this month, but a sensational report suggests Chelsea legend Eden Hazard could soon be seen donning Arsenal’s jerseys at the Emirates.

Hazard is said to be looking for a path to end his Real Madrid nightmare, with Mikel Arteta’s side under consideration.

And it could lead to the North London club adding Mudryk and Hazard to their ranks.

Both Mudryk and Hazard are able to operate on both wings, but the Belgian has experience through the centre as a false nine.

This could give Arteta an alternative option through the center of the Gunner’s attack, with Mudryk and Bukayo Saka in support on the wings.

However, while Mudryk has openly flirted with a move to the Emirates, a move for him is proving difficult to materialize due to Shakhtar Donetsk’s high transfer demands.

Meanwhile, Hazard would go against the type of age profile Arsenal have targeted in recent windows.

This means their attention could move elsewhere and spread across other areas of the squad.

Barcelona star Memphis Depay has been linked with a move, and is a very similar player to Gabriel Jesus in terms of what he can offer the team.

My thoughts…

In an ideal market Arsenal would be able to sign whoever they wanted, but as is the nature of squad building within economic reason, they will only enter the market for the right players.

I think Arsenal are absolutely not signing Eden Hazard, and even if they did, it definitely wouldn’t be to play as a starting false-nine.
