Arsenal have reportedly identified Roma forward Patrik Schick as a potential signing for the January transfer window.

The Gunners are likely to be without Danny Welbeck for the rest of the season after the England international suffered a serious ankle injury on Thursday, and it leaves Unai Emery having to find a replacement.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the North London outfit may look to secure a loan deal for Schick at the midway point of the campaign.

The 22-year-old has made just two starts and six substitute appearances this season, and Roma may be willing to allow the Czech frontman to go out on loan.

The report claims that Roma could look to try to sign Aaron Ramsey should Arsenal make an offer, with the Welsh playmaker out of contract in the summer.

Arsenal could potentially allow Ramsey to leave in January should a deal make sense, but Ramsey may choose to keep his options open until the end of the season.
