Following Arsenal making it five wins in succession on Wednesday night, with their latest victory coming against Aston Villa, all eyes were on whether the north Londoners would make further reinforcements to bolster their squad.
Douglas Luiz was high on the agenda, following injuries to Thomas Partey and Mohammed Elneny, but a deal couldn't be reached, meaning that no new signings were made.
Certainly, it feels like Arsenal have left themselves light in the centre of the park, with Sambi Lokonga currently the only lone pivot option available.
