While the summer transfer window may now be shut, Arsenal still have business to conduct. Ahead of deadline day, Mikel Arteta hinted that he's open to welcoming more new faces to the Emirates Stadium amid a growing injury crisis at the club.
Speaking to football.london following the Gunners' 2-1 win over Aston Villa, the Spaniard spoke on the impact Thomas Partey's injury will have on his club's transfer plans. Arteta said: "Obviously, it has an impact because Thomas is injured as well, and we're a bit short in that position.
"We have players like Sambi, we have players like Granit who can play there. The club has been super supportive to keep improving the squad and the team as we can, and if the right player is available and we can do it we will try."
