Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has confirmed that he could potentially sign a midfielder in the closing days of the transfer window despite a near £50m winter outlay already.
The table-topping Gunners have seen their options in the centre of the park dwindle with an injury to Egyptian Mohamed Elneny. Speaking on the back of that blow, Arteta said: “We need some more cover in midfield ideally if we can. In this market it’s pretty complicated to do that.”
Whether the Gunners turn to the transfer market or to their own squad in which to fix their current midfield conundrum remains to be seen. With just a few days remaining of the January window, they need to get a move on if they hope to make a third winter signing.
