Arsenal continue their work on recruiting into their squad this January transfer window, amid their consistent pursuits of a Premier League title challenge. While focusing on strengthening their forwards, Mikel Arteta wants to make smart signings to enhance the depth and quality of his current team. The Gunners are looking forward to sealing business that would keep them running in the course of the season as the transfer deadline looms.
The clock is ticking for Arsenal, with less than two weeks remaining for their January transfer activity. In the wake of a disappointing draw against Aston Villa, Arteta complained about the current lack of squad depth he feels has inhibited his team thus far. The Spaniard reflected on how the defeat has underlined an obvious difference in quality between themselves and their counterparts, such as Liverpool.
"I think when you look at the performances, I don't know how many teams are playing at this level in the league," Arteta said. "When you look at the bench, you probably say, look at the bench-we are very, very short."
Arsenal's manager has declared that reinforcing the front line is a must, both in the current transfer market and in possible summer moves. During the current window, the club is expected to focus its attention on selected signings with the potential to lift the team's performances.
