Arsenal could be set for a crucial summer transfer window to build on their significant step forward under Mikel Arteta this season. To the surprise of many, the Gunners shot straight to the top of the Premier League at the start of the season and with 12 games to play Arteta's men are still firmly in the race to be crowned champions of England.
A large reason for Arsenal's sudden mentality shift, evidenced with three last-minute winners in the last few months, was their summer recruitment. Signing Manchester City duo Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus ahead of the 2022/23 season was a massive statement of intent and both have proven to be more examples of shrewd recruitment by Arsenal.
January also looked set to be a defining month in terms of incomings. Not signing Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo looked set to be detrimental to their titles hopes, however the two alternative signings in their positions have proven to be excellent acquisitions.
