If you were to ask any Arsenal fan how they are feeling at the moment, the chances are they would all say the same thing: delighted with the results, performances and league position, but concerned about the lack of squad depth.
It’s something on the minds of many at the moment, ahead of what will be a crucial stage of the season for Mikel Arteta and his men. The Gunners find themselves eight points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table following a 2-0 win at Tottenham on Sunday. However, it was a weekend filled with mixed emotions after Chelsea successfully hijacked a deal for priority target Mykhailo Mudryk.
Arsenal had been in talks with Shakhtar Donetsk for months as they looked to strike a deal for the Ukrainian winger, but in a dramatic turn of events, Chelsea won the race and presented Mudryk to the Stamford Bridge crowd just 24 hours later. It was a sight that would have left a bitter taste in the mouth of those inside - and outside - the club, but there remain 15 days left to ease the blow.
