Mikel Arteta faced the media once more with the January transfer window facing less than a week to run. Arsenal have made two signings so far in a month that has seen additional emphasis on recruitment with an opportunity to strengthen a title challenge.
Arsenal have signed Leandro Trossard from Brighton and Jakub Kiwior from Spezia. The latter is a versatile defender who can also operate in midfield which is an area that has gained even greater focus of late.
Mohamed Elneny has been missing for some time and the club has been linked to midfielders even prior to concerns over the Egyptian. Yet for the second window in a row, an affliction to the experienced Arsenal man has put additional pressure on the final days in the market.
