Former Manchester United defender and pundit Gary Neville has warned Mikel Arteta that signings in January could upset the balance of the Arsenal squad. It comes after the Gunners have made an ideal start to the campaign, reaching the break for the World Cup top of the table with a five point gap to second.
There may be two concerns though, one of which being the time between now and the next game in late December, potentially halting the side's momentum. There's also the case of squad depth, with Arteta already bemoaning his lack of options after a cup exit to Brighton.
"We know where we are and we knew the moment we had certain injuries that the squad is already very, very short. We have tried to manage that in the best possible situation. But it’s the same when we win a football match, no excuses."
