Arsenal chief Edu has assured manager Mikel Arteta of full backing in the January market.
BBC Sport says Arsenal would love to sign a creative midfielder when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
Edu has promised Arteta full support, with financial calculations being made behind the scenes.
Arsenal may finally be able to get Mesut Ozil off their wage bill in January.
Fenerbahce could swoop to sign Ozil, even though reports have suggested his preference would be to remain in the Premier League.
And, by getting rid of the 2014 World Cup winner, that would free up funds for the Gunners to use on attacking reinforcements.
