The January transfer window

Arsenal supporters will label this as wishful thinking but the upcoming January transfer period offers the club a massive opportunity for both domestic and European title prospects in 2017.

With a few sharp moves, Wenger can improve upon an already talented squad.

On the attacking side, Julian Draxler or the possibility of Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette joining the squad actually coming to pass would both be extremely beneficial. After failing to acquire the French international this past summer, now may be the chance for Wenger to make the transaction happen.

While not being able to directly affect the Bayern matches due to his participation with Lyon, a player of his caliber could greatly impact league form and confidence within the team.

Defensive and midfield reinforcements would be helpful, as will ensuring that key members of the current squad are not sold. Keeping a strong defence together should be a top priority.

Third place in the Premier League and preparing for a massive encounter with Bayern Munich in the Champions League should be all the motivation Wenger needs to make January a pivotal moment for Arsenal.

With the right activity in the transfer market, Arsenal can greatly improve their chances against Bayern.
