November has here, and 2024 is drawing more and nearer. This can only mean one thing: the transfer window will be back, and there may be some intriguing midseason changes.
While Declan Rice has lived up to his shocking £105 million tag, Arsenal’s summer acquisitions, David Raya and Kai Havertz, who came from London rivals Chelsea and Brentford, have had more challenging starts to their Arsenal careers.
The second new addition to the Gunners, Jurrien Timber, suffered an injury 50 minutes into his Premier League debut. Mikel Arteta may be pleased with the unity in the team since Arsenal went on to overcome Nottingham Forest that day and have not lost in the league since.
Having said that, football.london has examined three early winter targets that SkyBet has predicted will sign in January at various odds.

14/1 Kalvin Phillips
Phillips has struggled to replace Rodri as Pep Guardiola’s preferred defensive midfielder since joining Manchester City from Leeds United last year; the Englishman has only played 167 minutes for the treble-winning squad.
In addition to Rodri, City has a strong midfield group that includes Bernado Silva, Mateo Kovacic, and two new summer additions, Mathues Nunes and Mateo Silva, who all appear to be ahead of Phillips in the hierarchy.
Due to his lack of playing time, Phillips may decide to leave Manchester and could join Arsenal, a team with a very competitive midfield of their own. However, Newcastle United is now the favorite at 2/1 to sign the 27-year-old.
6/1 Pedro Neto
Under new manager Gary O’Neil, Neto has emerged as one of Wolves’ most valuable players. He has already set up teammates seven times this season—more than any other player in the Premier League. Due to this form, larger teams have flocked to sign Wolves’ tricky winger, with Arsenal leading the chase at 6/1.
Arsenal’s injury updates and return schedule ahead of Newcastle include Smith Rowe, Partey, and Gabriel Jesus.
Several of Arsenal’s most talented and dangerous players play wide, but Neto’s adaptability and assist history may make Arsenal’s offensive threat even more potent in the second half of the year.
10/1 Victor Osimhen
Osimhen is one of the most sought-after attackers in Europe; several Saudi Pro League clubs, Chelsea, PSG, and Barcelona are among the teams interested in the Nigerian. Osimhen is wanted by a number of great teams, but Napoli is eager to hold onto their star striker, who was instrumental in helping them win the Serie A championship the previous year.
However, a little split between Osimhen and Napoli was formed after the latter’s official TikTok account made fun of him, which may assist Arsenal or other teams get an £80 million striker come January.
