Arsenal's January transfer pursuit of Mykhailo Mudryk officially ended over the weekend after Chelsea confirmed the signing of the 22-year-old for a fee in the region of £88million. The Gunners must now divert their focus on alternatives to Mudryk should they manage to bolster Mikel Arteta’s squad.
Following yesterday's North London Derby win over Tottenham, the Arsenal boss remained coy on his options in attack and claimed the club remain keen to improve the squad. He told football.london: "We have excellent players and we want to improve our squad in this transfer window - when I say we I mean, myself, the coaching staff, the staff players, the board and the ownership - we all want to do that.
"But we will do the deals we can do and the ones we feel are right for the club," Arteta continued. "We have to be very consistent in the target that we want, but as well what we want to do in each moment. We can get those players better, so let's focus on that."
