Arsenal's January Transfer Plans Amid Injury Crisis

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has indicated the club might be active in the January transfer window if their current injury crisis, which includes key players like Martin Ødegaard, Ben White, and Thomas Partey, does not improve. The team is aiming for a Premier League title and a deep Champions League run, but the departure of sporting director Edu could complicate recruitment efforts, with Jason Ayto stepping in temporarily. Contract talks with Thomas Partey have stalled, and he will be free to negotiate with other teams from January 1. Despite past criticisms, Arsenal has effectively used the January window under Arteta, acquiring players like Leandro Trossard and Ødegaard. Arteta has dismissed rumors about Gabriel Jesus leaving in January, emphasizing his importance and potential for improvement.
