Wenger lines up Marin and Llorente for January

Arsene Wenger is plotting January moves for Werder Bremen playmaker Marko Marin and Athletico Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente, according to Caught Offside.

Reports suggest that the Arsenal manager is looking to add to his attacking options after the summer departures of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.

The Frenchman is willing to spend some of the money recouped from the two deals to bring in the highly-rated duo as support for the in-form Robin van Persie.

Wenger signed defender Per Mertesacker from Bremen in the summer and he is expected to return to the German club in search of Marin's signature, while Llorente is being lined up to replace Marouane Chamakh, who is rumoured to be leaving the club in January.
