Whilst it may not have turned out to be the exhilarating January transfer window Arsenal fans were hoping for, the club ultimately did what it needed to: strengthen squad depth.
Considering a Premier League title and a Europa League trophy are up for grabs, it was crucial for Mikel Arteta to address gaps in key areas of the team, such as central defence, defensive midfield and the wing. The arrivals of Jakub Kiwior, Jorginho and Leandro Trossard have done just that, but there’s still plenty of work to do come the summer.
With Champions League football currently on course to return to the Emirates Stadium next season, the Arsenal hierarchy will know that the summer window has the potential to be one of their biggest - and most important - yet. A solid foundation has been successfully built with a combination of youth, experience and quality, now it’s about adding layers that will only see it grow stronger in the years ahead.
