Arteta pondering late Arsenal transfers

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta reiterated that he might need to sign new players, but is in two minds about it.

The Gunners boss has given no confirmation of any future signings or transfers yet.

“I’m not going to be discussing any transfer links publicly,” he told a news conference. “It’s something that we are trying to do internally and, when we have news, we will communicate with you guys.

“We’ve been looking at different positions. Obviously, since I joined, we lost Calum and we had other circumstances and injuries in those positions, so it’s true that, at the back, we’ve been short.

“But there are other positions as well, depending on what happens in the market, that we might need to assess.

“At the moment, I am 50-50, because this transfer window is very, very complicated. I only want to bring somebody in if I’m really convinced that he can really improve the level that we have.”

Rumours had also come up about Aubameyang giving a green signal for a potential Barcelona transfer. However, Arteta thought otherwise.

“As far as I know, a week ago, after a game at home, we were discussing that he said he was so happy,” Arteta said.

“He didn’t agree with the things that were written in the media and [said] he has his future here. That’s what I understand at the moment.”
