"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 face a defensive injury crisis that could leave them missing up to four defenders—Jurrïen Timber, Riccardo Calafiori, Ben White and Cristhian Mosquera—for a key Premier League match against Aston Villa. The club's squad depth has been strained this season with several long-term absences. After spending more than £250 million on eight summer signings, Arsenal remain open to further reinforcements in the January transfer window to bolster availability. Other Premier League clubs typically carry 24–25 squad players, and Arsenal view maintaining player availability as crucial for sustaining a title challenge. Aston Villa pose a renewed threat after ending an Arsenal unbeaten run and recording an 11-match winning streak.
