Arsenal -Baas Mikel Arteta says that the club is “open” for adding the team before the Transfer Deadline of January, with a new striker still a priority for the team.
The Gunners have taken off Girona for their last Champions League match, with the progress of the club to the last-16 anything but confirmed. Arteta's side knows that they only need a point to ensure that they reach the knockouts in Spain.
In the Premier League, Arsenal remains six points behind the League Liverpool and Arteta knows that more additions can be crucial when bridging the gap to the Reds.
The team has been shouting for a new striker in recent months – especially after losing Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus from Bukayo Saka and in injury. Alexander Isak from Newcastle and Red Bull Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko are both linked, but it looks unlikely that a deal will be closed this month.
Without the deals on the horizon a week before the January transfater star was closed on 3 February, Arteta was questioned about the chance that a new signing came in, and if the club could recruit a different player than a striker.
He said at his press conference for the game: “There are situations open and I always say the same thing, if we can improve the team with players who can influence us now and in the future, we will try to do that if it is it it Best for the club, and I am there. “
Although there has not been too much news about income, Arsenal knows that at least one player will leave the Emirates.
Kieran Tierney fell in the pecking order in the Emirates in the past few seasons – with only five times this period – and Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers revealed on Tuesday that the left back would return to the club.
Tierney left his boy's club for Arsenal for about £ 25 million in 2019 after playing 170 times for the Scottish champions and will now want to revive his career in Glasgow.
Speaking for Celtic's Champions League collision against Aston Villa, Rodgers confirmed the deal and said he was hopeful that he could bring Tierney this month.
He said: “Ideally, it would happen (in January), but he is still an Arsenal player at the moment. I think everyone agrees that it will certainly take place in the summer. If we can do it in advance, Then is great. “
