Arsenal were left short in the wide areas going into the season following the closing of the summer market. Nicolas Pepe was allowed to leave the club on loan to join OGC Nice, but a replacement was unable to be signed.
In the first half of the campaign, a lack of options aside from Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka has certainly impacted the Gunners, with added pressure on the two youngsters to maintain their fitness, which at this point they have succeeded in doing so. However, it is still an issue that Edu must address in the upcoming transfer windows.
One player who the club were reportedly looking to sign in the last summer transfer window was Mykhaylo Mudryk. But, due to how late in the window the Gunners seemed to register interest in him, a deal seemed too difficult to complete.
