Arsenal Step Up Defensive Scouting Mission
Arsenal have intensified their search for defensive reinforcements ahead of the January transfer window, with sources confirming that the club is closely monitoring two standout Bundesliga defenders. The Gunners, who have struggled with injuries and depth issues at the back this season, are preparing for strategic additions to maintain their Premier League title push.
According to early reports, Arsenal scouts have attended multiple Bundesliga games over the past month, specifically tracking players who fit Mikel Arteta’s tactical demands — ball-playing ability, strong positional awareness, and versatility across the backline.
“Arsenal want defenders who can contribute immediately but also grow with the long-term project,” a source familiar with the scouting process stated.
Club Expected to Make Official Moves Soon
With the January window approaching, Arsenal are expected to accelerate their evaluation process. The two unnamed Bundesliga defenders are believed to be high-profile players who have attracted interest from other European clubs as well.
Arteta reportedly considers defensive stability a top priority, especially with Champions League fixtures returning in the second half of the season. Arsenal may also look to move out fringe players to make room for new arrivals.
Both targeted defenders are seen as strong fits for Arsenal’s evolving tactical setup, and negotiations could begin swiftly once the club finalizes its shortlist.
