The window is quickly coming to a close and Arsenal still have work to do. Importantly, and certainly encouragingly, the club know this and both Edu and Mikel Arteta have addressed and commented on the need for more moves still needing to be done.
“We are really active as you can see with incomings and outgoings,” Arteta said ahead of Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. “Everything is still open, it’s a long window, a lot has happened, it’s incredible how much business the clubs have done across the Premier League and it shows how competitive it is and this season is not going to stop that. Players are going to have the need to leave, some others to move and everything is open still.”
There are two key areas that are widely considered to be needing further reinforcement and strengthening. Central midfield and the wide area.
