Arsenal don’t seem to have a particularly busy January planned, but they are reportedly laying some groundwork for potential wonderkid transfers for the future.

That’s according to a report from the Athleticwho says the Gunners often do work like this all year round, to ensure they are in a strong position to sign these young players if or when they decide to move on from their current clubs.

No specific names are mentioned, and they may not be particularly big names anyway, but Arsenal fans will no doubt be hoping that the north London club can continue to prove a good destination for the best players in the world. -youth of the game.

We have seen Arsenal promote a number of players from their academy in recent times, with Bukayo Saka arguably the biggest success story.

However, there were also the likes of Eddie Nketiah and Myles Lewis-Skelly, both of whom also had spells in Chelsea’s youth system before moving to the Emirates Stadium.

The Athletic suggest that Arsenal have been doing some work on deals of this nature before January, but it seems that it could be )a quiet time in what has to do with acquiring the first team.

Saka’s current injury it surely means that AFC have to do something in the next January window, or else it’s hard to see them catching up with Liverpool in the Premier League title race.

Still, we also know that Arsenal tend to like long-term planning rather than simply doing reactive work in the market, so it makes sense that this seems to be their current approach.

In the long run, if it means Mikel Arteta has another talent like Lewis-Skelly to work with in a year or two, then it could be worth it.
