Arsenal's January transfer window could be a quiet one, despite a massive summer spending spree. The Gunners splashed out over £250 million on eight new players during the summer, but the upcoming January transfer window is expected to be drastically different.
football.london reports that Arsenal isn't planning on making any significant investments this January. While the club will always keep an eye out for potential opportunities, their spending in the summer has significantly limited their options.
Before their move for Eberechi Eze, the club was already mindful of UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations. However, an injury to Kai Havertz prompted them to invest despite some internal reservations.
Andrea Berta orchestrated a clever loan move for Piero Hincapie, but this was only possible because Jakub Kiwior went on loan to FC Porto. Arsenal has two Premier League loan spots available, but finding a player of the right caliber is a challenge.
Ethan Nwaneri is being watched by top clubs across Europe, particularly in England and Germany. He was reportedly close to leaving in the summer, but Arsenal convinced him to sign a new deal. However, the 18-year-old hasn't been getting regular playing time.
And this is the part most people miss... If Nwaneri doesn't get more chances, especially with upcoming games against Portsmouth and Kairat Almaty, a loan move this winter or next summer becomes more likely.
Selling players hasn't been a major focus under Berta's leadership yet. However, the chances of any major departures seem unlikely at this point.
