January was a busy month for Arsenal both on and off the pitch, but focus now turns to February, where plenty more twists and turns could be round the corner. With another month passed, Mikel Arteta now has the final squad that he hopes will guide them towards Premier League title success by late May.
Three additions were made in January as Leandro Trossard, Jakub Kiwior and Jorginho all joined the squad, adding quality in depth for the remainder of the campaign. It shows a huge turnaround from as recent as November, when Arteta had lamented his lack of squad depth.
“We know where we are and we knew the moment we had certain injuries that the squad is already very, very short,” the Spaniard said. A few key injuries could derail things, given how well the side is working together so far this season, even with some absences already.
