Arsenal is Less Active in the Transfer Market

Arsenal seems to be less active ahead of the winter transfer window as manager Wenger has already indicated that Arsenal would not have a “very busy transfer market.” Still, rumors available in the media suggest that Arsenal could make a bid for a loan deal for Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar who is currently playing for AC Milan. Meanwhile, there are also reports that defender William Gallas could talk to other clubs in January as Wenger is reluctant to hand him a long-term deal as he is now in his 30s. West Ham’s Matthew Upson or Gary Cahill of Bolton or Neven Subotic of Borussia Dortmund could be the possible replacements of Gallas at the Emirates. Reports also suggest Arsenal’s link with a number of strikers including Carlton Cole of West Ham, Andre-Pierre Gignac of Toulouse and Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh, though all of these are still just rumors.
