Fans and pundits alike were left perplexed by Arsenal's lack of activity during the recent January transfer window after rumoured moves for Benjamin Sesko and Ollie Watkins failed to materialise.
The Gunners, who have been playing catch up to Liverpool in the Premier League title race since the early stages of the season, have endured a number of injury issues this season which continue to affect them to this day which prompted many to believe the squad was in desperate need of bodies to plug the gaps left by injured players.
