It's debatable whether Tottenham Hotspur have the funds available to them to conduct any business during the next transfer window, with the construction of their new stadium running well over deadline and, presumably, budget.

Similarly, bitter rivals Arsenal have also found themselves relatively inactive in the market, despite having no real excuse for their stinginess, with loan signing Denis Suarez their only bit of business this January gone.

According to Sky Sports, however, both teams have got their sights set on Borussia Monchengladbach's centre-back Matthias Ginter.

Arsenal have certainly been suffering the most out of the two north London teams having already conceded 36 goals this season - the most out of any team in the top six. But, with Toby Alderweireld's departure seemingly inevitable, it's certainly in their interest to sign the German.

Indeed, should the Gunners manage to secure the missing key to their defence, in Ginter, there's a very good chance they could dominate Tottenham for seasons to come.

The Spaniard has improved the offence massively, successfully developing a system whereby star strikers Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can work together to create one of the most deadly Premier League partnerships on paper.

Their midfield shows sign of obvious promise, as well; it's just the defensive unit who have seriously let the side down this season. For us, hurting any real chance of them securing top four.

Sokratis looks a decent enough player alongside Laurent Koscielny, but Mustafi has been very, very poor since his return from injury, and it's fairly obvious that they need to enter the market for defensive support should they want to mount a legitimate push for silverware. Ginter is very capable of being that man.
