M. Arteta explained why the team's composition was not strengthened in January © JumpStory

After the January transfer window closed, London's Arsenal fans were left with a bitter taste. The 'Gunners' did not invite any well-known players to join their ranks, and what's more, they also suffered losses. As the manager of the Premier League team, Mikel Arteta, mentioned, there simply were no suitable options on the market for them.

"We only want the very best players and people for this club. However, when there is a need to hurry and there is no reason to acquire certain players, we decide to pass up on those opportunities," the specialist said. It is worth noting that Arsenal lost out on the competition for at least two stars - Dusan Vlahovic and Bruno Guimaraes.
