The agent of Kevin Malcuit has hinted that Arsenal have made contact with Napoli about a January deal.

The Gunners have done no business so far this transfer window, despite the fact that boss Unai Emery is keen to bring a feew players in, and there has been alot of speculation that the club will not have enough time to seal their potential deal.

Reports in the media over the last few days have claimed Arsenal are closing in on deals for Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic and Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez, but talks over possible deals have stalled as the Gunners can only bring in players on a loan basis.

But another name that has been linked with a move to the Emirates is that of Napoli star Malciut, who has been impressing under Carlo Ancelotti in Seria A.

The Gunners have reportedly made an approach to the sign the 27-year old on-loan until the end of the season, with the club desperate to find an immediete replacement for the injured Hector Bellerin, who will be out for the rest of the season.

But despite confirming Arsenal’s interest in trying to secure a deal for Malciut, his agent Bruno Satin, insists the Frenchman is ‘happy’ with life under Carlo Ancelotti.

‘There’s a London club who are looking for a right-back. They asked about Kevin, but there’s no question of him leaving Napoli,’ Satin told Radio CRC.

‘Arsenal? It could be them, but not necessarily. He’s happy with Ancelotti and in Naples.’

Here is what we think.

Arsenal have been linked with a whole load of attackers this January window, but not many defenders, which is bad news considering that is the clubs weakest area of the pitch.

So Arsenal should forget about Suarez or Perisic and try to conclude a deal for Maciut, or a new central defender, or they may have a big issue getting Champions League football by the end of the season.
