"In January, we will actively look for opportunities to strengthen the squad." - Mikel Arteta says Arsenal will sign new players this winter

Arsenal are gearing up for the transfer window in full force.

Details: The Gunners' head coach, 43-year-old Spaniard Mikel Arteta, stated ahead of the window's opening that his team needs to bolster the squad during the winter transfer market.

Arteta emphasized that, to meet their ambitious targets, Arsenal need genuine squad depth—especially in light of recent injury news:

"In January, we will actively look for opportunities to strengthen the squad. Depending on the availability of certain players, the transfer window is open. I mean, we are Arsenal, and we have to take that into account. Our job is to be ready, because anything can happen." Arteta stated.

At the moment, Arsenal top the Premier League table with 42 points after 18 rounds. Arteta's side will play their next match against Aston Villa tomorrow, which will be the Gunners' final fixture of the year.
