According to British media, Arsenal have no plans to invest heavily in the January transfer window. They are only ready to make transfers if they suffer an injury or find a suitable target. But in short, there will be no team renovation at the Emirates in the 2025 winter transfer window.
If the defensive injury situation does not improve, coach Mikel Arteta can aim for some temporary "fire-fighting" contracts. Up front, they also have no intention of recruiting any long-term solutions.
This season, the ability to take advantage of impressive set-piece situations has helped The Gunners make up for the weakness of the attack. In addition, Arsenal's creativity is showing signs of decline. In that context, Gunners fans felt a new striker could make the difference to help Arsenal compete in the Premier League and Champions League.
Arsenal are still interested in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. According to German media, the 21-year-old could be allowed to leave at the end of the season despite only signing a new contract this year. The Gunners have also been tracking Newcastle's Alexander Isak and Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres, among others.
They could also look to add a central midfielder, depending on the decisions made regarding veterans Jorginho and Thomas Partey.
In his departure, Gabriel Jesus could attract some interest as he struggles to get regular playing time at the Emirates. However, earlier this month, Arteta denied reports that the Brazilian striker could leave in January.
Arsenal may also listen to offers for full-backs Kieran Tierney and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Defender Jakub Kiwior has attracted interest from Serie A clubs including Napoli, but Arteta will not want to part with the Polish player.
In addition, Jorginho and Partey will have their contracts expired at the end of the season. Arteta has made positive moves to keep both players, but it depends on the situation. Jorginho is likely to be given a one-year extension as he turns 33. As for Partey, the midfielder will have to accept a salary cut if he wants to stay at the Emirates.
"We have many options to deal with the current situation. But if we have the chance to strengthen the squad, we will be ready to consider it," Arteta said after the 5-1 win over Crystal Palace.
