Mikel Arteta Leaves Door Open for Arsenal's January Transfer Business

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal will consider January signings if an 'extraordinary' opportunity arises, but focus remains on current squad.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted that the club may be open to making signings in the January transfer window, but only if the right opportunity arises. Arteta emphasized that the club's primary focus is on the current squad, but he is willing to consider exceptional additions.

“If something extraordinary is in the market that we can afford and we think will have a real impact on the team, we have to be open for that possibility always,” Arteta said. This statement suggests that Arsenal is not actively seeking to make signings, but will consider it if a exceptional opportunity presents itself.

Arteta also reiterated that the club's current focus is on the players already at their disposal. “At the moment, the focus is on what we have,” he said, indicating that the squad's development and cohesion are the top priorities.

While Arteta's comments do not guarantee any January signings, they do leave the door open for potential additions. Arsenal fans will be watching closely to see if the club makes any moves in the transfer market.
