Mikel Arteta not optimistic about Arsenal’s January plans

Mikel Arteta reveals Arsenal might not sign any player in the January window.

The Gunners have dropped to fourth in the Premier League table after tricky defeats to Fulham and West Ham before the start of 2024.

Arsenal are heavily linked with a striker and midfielder as the club is eagerly waiting to get back to their best in the second half of the campaign.

The club has been a long admirer of Brentford forward Ivan Toney who has been heavily linked with an exit this month.

The Gunners were expected to have a busy January window but manager Mikel Arteta reveals that there’s a possibility of no new incomings this month.

He said: “Unfortunately, Jurrien has a very long-term injury. He’s doing really well but is still far from training with the team.

“It’s what we have, with Tomi having to leave. We’re open for the transfer market, but the emphasis is of making the most of the players we have.

“We’ll work with the club to understand if there are any possibilities, and whether we have any good options. But first of all, we will focus on the players we already have.”
