"The window is there and I mean we are Arsenal and we have to be looking at it - 'Okay, what do we need?' And we have to be actively looking and then, whether we can do it or not, that's a different story,"
"But our job is to always be very prepared because something can happen, so hopefully it'll be very positive. "When you look across the other clubs, they have 24 or 25 squad players. Although we have had more injuries than expected, some of them not avoidable, we want to be better and we know how important the part of having the right availability with players is going to be this season."
Arsenal will actively look to bolster their squad during the January transfer window to address depth concerns amid a title challenge. Up to four defenders—Jurrien Timber, Riccardo Calafiori, Ben White and Cristhian Mosquera—were absent for the win over Brighton. Arsenal spent more than £250 million on eight signings in the summer but still seeks added reinforcements due to injuries. Other Premier League clubs often carry 24–25 squad players, highlighting Arsenal's relative thinness. Player availability is considered crucial for the season. Aston Villa, fresh from ending Arsenal's long unbeaten run, visits the Emirates in a key upcoming match.
