Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta, has drawn the attention of the Arsenal Board to make new signings "as quickly as possible". Arsenal is currently top of the English Premier League (EPL) table with five points ahead of champions Manchester City.


Arteta is worried about Gunner's squad depth, as the second half of the season commences, especially after Arsenal hitman Gabriel Jesus picked up a Knee injury at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Gunners were heavily linked with Shakhtar Donetsk's Mykhaylo Mudryk, but, Arteta insists on bringing in new players if the Gunners are expected to continue the challenge for titles.

In his words: “We knew the importance of getting in players early in the summer, and that’s the same we want to do in January.

“This is idealistic. Sometimes it is not realistic. But obviously, if you ask my opinion, [we need players] as quick as possible, we want the players in to get settled,” Arteta said ahead of the Boxing Day clash with West Ham.
