Arsenal are slowly but surely bridging the gap between themselves and the title contenders, but their inability to sell players for significant fees could hold them back.
The Gunners failed to bolster their ranks in the January transfer window, but not for the want of trying.
Mikel Arteta was desperate to sign a striker and a midfielder last month but moves for Dusan Vlahovic, who joined Juventus from Fiorentina instead, and Arthur Melo, who was not allowed to leave Juventus, never materialised.
