The January transfer window will be a regretful period for Arsenal in 2022. With the top four chase rapidly slipping away from the Gunners, the failure to reinforce the squad in the winter is looked at as one of the primary reasons for the season’s disappointment.
Arsenal allowed plenty of players to leave. However, after losing Thomas Partey, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu to injury along with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah’s failure to score goals, the squad looks very weak.
The total number of departures came to five with Pablo Mari, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Sead Kolasinac, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Calum Chambers leaving either permanently or on loan. However, one player’s absence, in particular, has hurt the side despite very few highlighting it.
