Arsenal were unable to sign a winger in the summer transfer window, despite the clear need to strengthen in the wide areas. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have a lot of pressure to perform until the next opportunity to address this area of the pitch opens.
And matters got worse in that regard for Arsenal during the Gunners’ friendly fixture against Juventus at the Emirates Stadium. Football.london understands that Reiss Nelson limped down the tunnel after coming off injured in the first half with what looked like a hamstring injury.
With the January transfer window set to open in two weeks, the need for more wing reinforcements has become even clearer. And Nelson’s injury could further pull Arteta in that direction.
