Gabriel Jesus is out for the season with an ACL injury and with days left from the transfer star of January, Arsenal is considering rising their Premier League rivals with their Spanish manager, sure that something can be done.
Arteta was questioned about the Watkins-Links after the 2-1 Champions League victory on his part at Girona and said: “I can't talk about that. My confidence is that we have a great club with people who always work to try To improve.
Arsenal wants to put an end to five years of waiting for a trophy. They have to make up the ground on Liverpool if they want to get the Premier League title, while they stand 2-0 in their Carabao Cup semi-final against Newcastle with the return leg.
Villa, meanwhile, who are in the round of 16 in their very first Champions League campaign, has seen offers coming in for Jhon Duran and Watkins. Duran is the subject of Saudi interest on the table with great money, but Unai Emery has been withdrawn from comments on the negotiations about his two strikers.

The club works and tries to compete the transfer window Because we need some players.
Watkins, who scored an iconic last-minute winner in the semi-final of the Euro 2024, has admitted a number of times in the past that he is in favor of the North Londoners and expressed a wish to represent them one day.
Watkins spoke during the Sports Gazette during the 2020 London Football Awards: “That is the dream to play for Arsenal. But you know, it's a long chance. “
