Arsenal had a rare weekend off due to the postponement of the North London Derby against Tottenham but hard work would have continued behind the scenes.
The Gunners are in need of new recruits to bolster their depleted squad this month, which has been hit by injuries as well as being without three players due to the Africa Cup of Nations.
A new striker and central midfielder are among the priorities, with the club pushing to get significant deals over the line as soon as possible.
