Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, has confirmed that the club did not engage in any transfer deals during the January window. Arteta explained that the club lacked the capacity to enhance the team in a manner that aligned with their ambitions, leading to a decision to abstain from making any new signings at this time.
Arteta, who is at the helm of the North London club, also acknowledged the slim nature of the squad. He stated, according to a tweet from @tntsports, that Arsenal indeed has “one of the thinnest squads in the league.” This comment underlines the challenges faced by the club in terms of squad depth amidst the ongoing season.
