"Speaking candidly about Arsenal's plans, Arteta stressed the importance of readiness and flexibility, acknowledging that opportunities can arise quickly in the winter market. We will be actively looking to strengthen the squad in January, Arteta explained, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, showing Arsenal's status as one of Europe's elite clubs demands constant ambition. Depending on the availability of certain players, the window is there. We're Arsenal and we have to be looking at it. Our job is to be very prepared because something can happen."
"Under Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta, the club have focused on signing players who fit a clear tactical identity and long-term vision, rather than short-term fixes. The Gunners had an eventful summer transfer window in which they signed players like Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke and others. January presents a different challenge, with injuries, suspensions and fixture congestion often forcing clubs to reassess their needs midway through the campaign."
