Gary Neville believes that the Arsenal hierarchy didn't necessarily want to complete a deal for a summer transfer Mikel Arteta specifically asked for, which has ultimately stopped them from making another move in the winter window.
Arsenal signed Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino for the start of the 2024/25 season, as well as completing their obligation-to-buy deal for goalkeeper David Raya. Neto and Raheem Sterling were also brought to the club on loan, with Arteta building his squad in the hope that they'd be able to go one step further in the Premier League and lift the title.
