Mikel Arteta reveals why Arsenal didn't sign anyone in January and why he's upbeat on top four

For many, this January transfer window was a disappointing one for Arsenal.

The Gunners were able to ship out plenty of players, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Pablo Mari and Flo Balogun leaving on loan, while Calum Chambers, Sead Kolasinac and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all left on a permanent basis.

However, it is the incomings that left fans most frustrated.
