Arsenal CEO Vinai Venkatesham has offered up an explanation for the lack of signings made by the men's first team during the January transfer window.
It was an active window for the Gunners in terms of getting players out, as Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Flo Balogun, Pablo Mari and Karl Hein departed on loan, and Sead Kolasinac, Calum Chambers and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left on a permanent basis.
However, in terms of getting people in the opposite direction, Edu was ultimately unsuccessful despite making attempts to sign Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina and Arthur Melo from Juventus.
