The Arsenal supporting punters here in the Transfer Tavern were not a happy bunch on Tuesday evening, following the Gunners’ 2-1 reverse at the hands of Everton.

The group of supporters were angry and frustrated in the Tavern in the aftermath with the landlord forced to keep a close eye on the group’s behaviour.

An Ashley Williams goal consigned the Gunners to their first away defeat of the campaign, and their first reverse at all since the first game of the season.

With the January transfer window on the horizon the group of Arsenal fans here in the Tavern are hoping that the Gunners will splash the cash in a bid to secure the Premier League title for the first time in 13 years.

Tavern writer Lee Clarke looks at two Premier League stars who Arsene Wenger should look to sign next month.

Virgil Van Dijk

The Southampton central defender has been one of the Premier League’s best players so far this season and his form has naturally linked him with a move to some big clubs.

Given that Shkodran Mustafi has picked up an injury, the Gunners could look to bolster their defensive options.

One Arsenal fan is sat enjoying an early morning pint and he thinks that Van Dijk would be a solid signing for the Gunners this January.

Jordan Pickford

The Gunners could look to secure themselves a deal for the future in the January transfer window by making a move for the in-form Sunderland goalkeeper.

Pickford looks like a star for the future and the chance for him to train with Petr Cech during the last couple of seasons of his career could be a wise move from Wenger.

Our knowledgeable landlord has been mightily impressed with Pickford’s form this season and he thinks the youngster looks destined to end up at a bigger club at some stage of his career.
