Following injuries to Mohamed Elneny and Thomas Partey, Arsenal's focus on the last day of the transfer window has swiftly turned towards midfield reinforcements.
It's believed that Nicolas Pepe's loan departure originally paved the way for a new winger to come in, but Mikel Arteta confirmed that the club's transfer plans have since changed as a result of the fresh absentees.
"Obviously, it has an impact (on transfers) because Thomas is injured as well, and we're a bit short in that position," Arteta said. "We have players like Sambi, we have players like Granit who can play there. The club has been super supportive to keep improving the squad and the team as we can, and if the right player is available and we can do it we will try."
