Mikel Arteta drops biggest Arsenal transfer hint January signings on way

Mikel Arteta says ARSENAL may target new signings in the January transfer window as they look to tackle an injury crisis that has been hampering their season so far this campaign.

This season, they have lost Ben White for an extended spell. Jurrien Timber has missed games, Gabriel has been the same. Riccardo Calafiori was a big signing in the summer but has so far been injury-prone. Oleksandr Zinchenko has missed big chunks of the season.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is still there and, most frustratingly for him, he always seems injured. Arsenal’s plan was to be “reactive rather than proactive” in the January window as they will look to potentially solve immediate issues but would be reluctant to do huge business next month.

They definitely want a striker and potentially a left winger, with a Premier League tile challenge on the line, the north London side need to find a solution for their many absences and the Spanish coach has suggested they will bring in some new faces next month.

He told reporters: “The window gives us an opportunity to strengthen the team if we feel that is needed and we feel that we have the capacity to do that as well. We are on it and just have to assess the situation because it is changing every week.

‘I’m positive that in a few weeks we’re going to be in a better place.”

This ARSENAL side is good enough to compete with the very best even if the club dont have their first team players available, Arteta has done such a  good job at the club.

The January window will give the Arsenal coach a chance to add to his squad, but with no Edu now there working on deals, it will be interesting to see just who arrives in the winter window
