Arsenal failed to sign a winger in the summer transfer window, despite the clear need to strengthen in the wide areas. It has left Mikel Arteta short on attacking options throughout the season.
With the forward areas needing to be strengthened, one player who is a possibility for the Gunners is Memphis Depay from Barcelona, as it would give Arsenal fluidity in the attack between the Dutchman and Gabriel Jesus. Arsenal were reportedly interested in the summer, but a deal never materialised for the Barcelona man.
Depay would be a good signing for Arsenal, but more so as a winger or secondary forward. Arsenal’s capture of Jesus in the summer transfer window helped improve the forward line, but there is still more work needed in the upcoming transfer window to bolster Arteta's options, which should be seen as critical following the knee injury that has ruled Jesus out for the foreseeable future.
