Arsenal are set to make their first January signing this week, Hednesford Town left-back Cohen Bramall.
The 20-year-old had a recent trial with the Gunners and looks to have shown enough to convince Wenger to snap him up.
According to the Non-League Paper’s chief reporter Sam Elliot, via his Twitter account, the deal will be completed sometime this week:

It’s believed Wenger will offer the young full-back a two-year deal but it is unlikely that Bramall will go straight into the Arsenal first-team. Instead, Bramall will likely spend the remainder of the season training with the Under-23 side before being introduced into the senior side.
However, with Kieran Gibbs currently sidelined through injury and his future in doubt at Arsenal, Bramall may be handed a first-team call up sooner than expected.
Arsenal and Hednesford have yet to confirm whether a deal has been agreed, but it looks likely to occur in the upcoming days.
