Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta Not Ruling Out January Activity Despite Initial Cautious Approach
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has remained open to activity in the transfer market ahead of the January deadline, despite the club’s relatively quiet start to the window.
In an earlier interview, the Spaniard sounded cautious about introducing new players at the Emirates, citing the team’s recent surge in form as a reason not to disrupt the squad. The Gunners, who had experienced a disappointing early season, managed to turn things around under Arteta’s leadership, earning important wins and clean sheets to bolster their Premier League standing.
However, as January approaches, opinions have shifted in the Arsenal camp. The Magpies’ underwhelming performances over the past two months have opened up opportunities to strengthen the roster, particularly at the forward positions. The Frenchman, still struggling with consistent goal-scoring, and Willian, finding it tough to adapt to life in England, have become specific areas of interest.
When queried about the team’s chances in the market this month, Mikel Arteta revealed his enthusiasm for exploring additional options:
"You never know who might become available, and as a club, we have the resources to assess the situation, should it materialize. Should we have that opportunity, and if it presents itself in an attractive manner, we won’t hesitate to look into it."
