Arsenal are challenging for the Premier League title for the third consecutive season under the leadership of Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners lost the title to Manchester City the last two seasons and are second favorites to win it this time around against Liverpool.
Arsenal fans were expecting a much better season from their team and with Manchester City struggling, they were expected to be the team to take over the Premier League title race.
However, halfway through the season, it has been Liverpool so far, but that could change if the Gunners add quality to their squad in the January transfer window.
The north London club has been linked with a move from Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush.
The Arsenal manager has said his side could make signings this month, claiming they will strengthen the squad if something extraordinary is available in the market.
Arteta added that the club’s current focus is on the players it currently has.
Specialist in transfer news Fabrizio Romano reported what the Arsenal manager said on his X account.
Arteta said:
“If there is something extraordinary in the market that we can afford and we think will have a real impact on the team, we have to be open to that possibility always.”
“For now, the focus is on what we have.”
Which position should Arsenal strengthen in January?
With Bukayo Saka out with a serious injury and more than two months out of action, Arsenal need to sign a new right-back in the January transfer window.
Most of their attacks start from the right side of their team and they need someone who can replace Saka in the lineup.
It won’t be easy to sign someone as good as Saka, but someone who can come to the club and replace Saka in the short term.
The coming months will decide Arsenal’s fate this season and the decisions they make in January could be the difference maker in the title race.
Arsenal will be in the market for one of the best players in the world
