By Kian Long
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has made his January wishes known. He would like to sign a left-back, and has shortlisted a young option.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta tends to know what he’s doing in the transfer window. Given help by one of the best recruitment teams in the world, the Spanish boss has got it right time and time again during his reign at Arsenal.
Having signed some incredible names in Gabriel Jesus, David Raya, Alex Zinchenko and Declan Rice, he would like to add to this calibre of players in the January transfer window. Of course, he has a chance to submit a fresh squad in the Champions League which will consist of a few new signings.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta wants to sign 22-year-old Miguel Gutierrez

Miguel was very good going forward, until one game he struggled defensively which wasn't even his fault.
Never played after that. https://t.co/apAArpP4Qp
Certainly, Gutierrez is a player who would suit Mikel Arteta. He has the ability to play as a left-back or a left midfielder. Certainly very attacking in his approach, he could provide sufficient back-up to the star Alex Zinchenko.
Having made eight appearances in the league for Girona and providing one assist, he’s certainly an important member of their team. Therefore, it could take a big offer to persuade them to let the 22-year-old leave. Although, as proven in recent history, Arsenal are prepared to offer big for the players who they think would benefit them the most.
Do you think Arsenal will sign Miguel Gutierrez?
