6 things on Mikel Arteta's agenda as he flies to USA to talk transfers with Stan Kroenke

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is running out of time to bolster his squad, but he will hope his meeting with owner Stan Kroenke leads to progress in the final week of the transfer window.

Arteta has flown out to the United States during the Premier League's winter break, and was pictured with Kroenke at a Colorado Avalanche ice hockey game over the weekend.

Long-time transfer target Dusan Vlahovic looks set to pass on a move to north London, instead opting for Juventus, and Arsenal still have work to do in the market after what has been a relatively quiet month so far.

Sead Kolasinac has left for Marseille and several players have gone out on loan, but no senior players have been added to the ranks.

Mirror Football has taken a look at the key items on Arteta's agenda as he prepares to work against the clock and win over the owner ahead of a busy few days.

Arsenal had reportedly been prepared to meet Fiorentina's asking price for Dusan Vlahovic, but their failure to get a deal over the line allowed Juventus to enter the race.

Once the Bianconeri were an option, the Serbian striker seemed set on a move to the Italian club, and it may be the case that the Gunners were never likely to be able to compete with Massimiliano Allegri's side.

However, Arteta will likely want words with Kroenke about why Arsenal were unable to push harder and push earlier, as they look to avoid a repeat with any future transfer target.

Vlahovic isn't the only striker who Arsenal have been looking at, and Arteta will want answers when it comes to finding the funds for another top forward.

Alexander Isak and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are two of the men most strongly linked with a move to London, with both boasting a strong record of scoring goals
