Arsenal have left it late. A sentence which despite being factual screams major understatement. The hope that the Gunners would secure the services of a striker and midfielder earlier in the window was one that existed in most supporters.
Yet on the 31st of January with hours remaining of the window, us fans continue to wait for news that Arsenal will indeed bring in the reinforcement that most can see they need.
Made even more pressing by the likelihood that the departures lounge has not yet been emptied. Most notably Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could still leave and The Athletic has reported that the Gabon striker is ‘close’ to agreeing on a six-month loan deal with Barcelona.
