Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed his intention to improve the squad’s depth during the January transfer window. The Spaniard acknowledged that the current squad is lacking in numbers, particularly on the bench, and hinted that reinforcements are on the way.

“We are trying to be very precise in what we want to do, and we are working hard to achieve that,” Arteta said. “We know that we have some limitations, but we are trying to overcome them, and we are working very hard to do that.
“Arteta’s comments have sparked speculation about potential transfer targets, with several players linked to the club in recent weeks. The Gunners have been rumored to be interested in signing a new midfielder, with Brighton’s Moises Caicedo and Villarreal’s Yeremi Pino reportedly on their radar.
While Arteta refused to comment on specific transfer targets, he did hint that the club is working hard to bring in the right players. “We are working on different options, and we will see what happens,” he said. “We are trying to be very selective, and we want to make sure that we bring in the right players for the team.”Arsenal fans will be eagerly awaiting any transfer developments, as the club looks to strengthen its squad and maintain its push for a top-four finish. With the transfer window open until the end of the month, Arteta and his team will be working tirelessly to bring in the right players to help achieve their goals.As the Gunners prepare to face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, Arteta’s comments will provide a welcome boost to the team’s morale. With the right additions, Arsenal can continue to compete at the highest level and bring success back to the Emirates Stadium.Only time will tell if Arteta’s transfer plans will come to fruition, but one thing is certain – the Arsenal boss is committed to improving the squad and bringing glory back to the club.
