Arsenal will enjoy a brief respite during the Champions League playoffs, but they are already aware of the teams they might face in the next stage of the competition.

Kieran Tierney will spend the rest of the season at Arsenal before joining Celtic in the summer after agreeing a pre-contract deal with the Scottish club. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen for the 27-year-old to stay at the Emirates instead of leaving in this window because of his leadership qualities and the injury problems his side have faced.

Arsenal's lack of a world class striker will cost them another Premier League unless they move quickly in the market.

Arsenal would ‘prefer’ to sign two alternative strikers to Ollie Watkins but have ‘panicked’ in the final week of the transfer window, according to former Gunners midfielder Emmanuel Petit. The north London club are considering making a second offer for England international Watkins after seeing their opening £60m bid rejected by Aston Villa.

A bombshell report has claimed Arsenal will BLOCK Kieran Tierney the chance to return to Celtic this month. Record Sport revealed the Premiership champions were pushing to close the deal before Brendan Rodgers confirmed in the build up to the Champions League clash with Aston Villa on Wednesday night.

We also know Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola are very close, while City are the reigning champs and have just pipped Arsenal to the title in each of the last two Premier League seasons. This rivalry has been bubbling up nicely.

Arsenal are interested in Bayern Munich teenager Mathys Tel, who is eager to leave the Bundesliga club before Deadline Day. Mikel Arteta is desperate to sign a forward before the January transfer window closes on Monday night.

Manchester City avoided Champions League humiliation. Now back to the job of salvaging the Premier League season.
