The January transfer window opens in less than a week and Arsenal will be desperate to add a new face to Mikel Arteta's attack following Bukayo Saka's injury.

Saka is set for a lengthy period on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring problem against Crystal Palace. The Gunners' lack of firepower was evident in Friday's win over Ipswich Town with no attacker named on the bench.

When the window opens next Wednesday, all eyes will be on what business Arsenal can do to bolster their Premier League title ambitions. So with that in mind, football.london takes a look at who the bookmakers have tipped to move to north London.

Bryan Mbeumo - 10/1

Mbeumo being linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium is hardly surprising after his first half of the season with Brentford. The forward has taken over where Ivan Toney left off and has scored 10 Premier League goals in 18 games.

Bet365 have tipped Arsenal at 10/1 to sign the Cameroon international. Liverpool are slight favourites at 8/1 but remaining at Brentford, currently, is bookmakers' most-likely move.

Marcus Rashford - 7/1

Rashford is no longer part of Ruben Amorim's Manchester United squad and after the forward admitted he was ready for a new challenge. Arsenal have been one of the clubs linked and his versatility would make him a great coup.

Sky Bet have the Gunners at 7/1 to sign the England international. PSG (11/2) and a move to the Saudi Pro League (9/2) sit just above them though Barcelona (2/1) are the current favourites.

Viktor Gyokeres - 10/1

Before Saka's injury, the signing of a centre-forward was the priority. Gabriel Jesus' recent form and loss of Saka mean focus is now on a wide man. However, Gyokeres still remains a target ahead of January.

Sky Bet back Arsenal at 10/1 with Manchester United tipped as favourites to reunite the Sweden international with Amorim.

Christopher Nkunku - 40/1

A surprising name on this list is Chelsea attacker Nkunku. The France international has scored 12 times in 26 games this season but has been mainly used in cup competitions. Reports have insisted he could be on the move this winter in search of first-team football.

Remaining at Stamford Bridge is currently the favourite with Man United (7/1) and PSG (8/1) the favourites to land him. Arsenal are 40/1 alongside Manchester City and Liverpool.

Neymar - 40/1

Another shock name tipped to move to north London by the bookmakers is Neymar. Currently at Al Hilal, the Brazilian has never played in the Premier League but his failed move to Saudi Arabia has led to a potential move away.

Any Brazilian team (6/1) or a move to the MLS (12/1) are favourites with the Gunners ranking at 40/1 with Man United and Inter Milan.
