Jonas Eidevall has acknowledged Arsenal had a "disappointing" transfer window after failing to bring in a new forward during January.
In the final days of before the deadline, the Gunners launched an audacious bid to sign England forward Alessia Russo from title rivals Man Utd. But their title rivals rejected two approaches and despite further reports linking the Arsenal with a move for Lyon's Signe Bruun, there were no further arrivals.
Arsenal did sign Victoria Pelova, Katherine Kuhl and Sabrina D'Angelo during the mid-season window, but the Gunners boss had previously stated they were keen to bring in a goalscorer after Beth Mead and Viv Miedema suffered long-term ACL injuries before Christmas. Ahead of Sunday's WSL London derby clash with West Ham, Eidevall said the main issue wasn't finding players that wanted to play for Arsenal, but getting clubs to do business at this time in the season.
