Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta oversaw a window of frustration which leant heavily on outgoings rather than arrivals in North London.
A total of six players left Arteta’s first-team squad this month with no new additions – although Auston Trusty was signed from MLS side Colorado Rapids, where he has returned on loan.
The Gunners pursued a deal for striker Dusan Vlahovic before the Serbia international decided to sign for Juventus from Fiorentina in a £63m transfer.
