In short, a central defender, winger and striker.
Central Defender
Arsenal have loaned out two reasonable central defenders in Ignasi Miquel and Jonathan Djourou yet Arsenal do not have strength in depth at the back Vermaelen has been poor this season just like the one before hence him losing his place in the starting line-up even though he is still the club captain. If I had a huge budget I would go for the expensive option of Mat Hummels of Borussia Dortmund worth at least £25 million. A cheaper player yet full of quality would be Ezequiel Garay currently playing at Benfica who would come in for an estimated fee of around £10-15 million.
Winger
Here I would really splash the cash on either Marco Reus or Hulk both of which would cost in excess of £30 million. However they would be worth it as Arsenal either have to pass through the opposition or exploit the pace of Theo Walcott. With the addition of another winger we can have pace down both flanks or have a strength in depth in that department which at the moment we are lacking.
Striker
Wenger, this summer, pursued Luis Suarez and Gonzalo Higuain and got neither. However, this proves that even he needs another striker even though Olivier Giroud is playing very well having already scored 8 goals so far this season. An injury to Giroud would be a disaster as we have Podoloski out and have no suitable replacements bar Park and Bendtner. A high quality striker would really increase Arsenal's title credentials. Robert Lewandowski would be pricey and he has supposedly agreed a deal with Bayern Munich, but Dortmund would love to sell abroad and not to Bayern who have already bought Mario Gotze this season. £35-40 million might force a move through to Arsenal. If not I would go for Diego Costa as Athletico Madrid seen to be in contant financial problems and Costa may be swayed by higher wages and a potentail title winner side.
