The transfer window proved frustrating for Arsenal fans, who wanted the club to sign a new attacker. Despite interest in Ollie Watkins, Arsenal decided not to act quickly, risking their attacking depth. With Bukayo Saka injured and Gabriel Jesus sidelined, Arsenal's sole option remains Kai Havertz, who is already showing signs of fatigue. Mikel Arteta's concerns over squad strength were evident, although the club seems optimistic about future talent like Ethan Nwaneri and hopes Saka will return soon. A delay in the transfer market could impact their summer strategies for stronger recruits.
In the end it was a frustrating transfer window for Arsenal fans, who were desperate for the club to bring in at least one new attacker.
They did look, most intently at Ollie Watkins, but in the end they kept their powder dry and opted to wait until the summer, rather than move for someone they weren't overly convinced by.
Mikel Arteta just doesn't really have an option to give him a breather and I think that's a real problem.
Even so, Arteta has to be disappointed in the failure to strengthen. He has made no secret of the fact that he believes his squad has needed some help.
