Edu ignores Roy Keane's Arsenal transfer warning as third January signing eyed after £48m spend

Arsenal have reinforced Mikel Arteta's squad from a position of strength after bringing in Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior this month. Sporting director Edu Gaspar was able to sign Trossard from Brighton for £21million plus £6million in add ons, whilst Kiwior arrived for an initial fee of £17.5million with a potential further £3.5million in add ons.

The two signings have improved Arteta's squad depth heading into the second half of the season as the Gunners continue their Premier League title challenge. Arsenal remain five points clear at the top of the table and could extend their advantage to eight points if they win their game in hand.

Gabriel Jesus will bolster Arteta's attacking options next month once he returns from injury. The Brazilian's absence has not derailed the north Londoners' title charge with Eddie Nketiah proving to be a capable replacement for Jesus, scoring six goals in six matches since the World Cup ended.
