Andrea Berta is expecting Arsenal to have a rather quiet January transfer window following what was a very busy summer in North London.
Berta made several impressive additions at Arsenal this summer, signing the likes of Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, Martin Zubimendi and Cristhian Mosquera.
Who is Andrea Berta’s best signing since joining Arsenal? 🤔
Let us know your pick in the comments?
The North London club have now managed to assemble one of the strongest squads in Europe, which has allowed them to overcome an injury-ravaged campaign.
But going into the winter window, Arsenal are not expecting to do much business at all, which could frustrate supporters.
Arsenal are expecting a quiet January transfer window
Arsenal are expecting a quiet January transfer window, unless any of their current squad is sold, according to TalkSPORT.
Things in football move quickly, and various circumstances could change Arsenal’s mind, but right now, it’s unlikely that anything extravagant will be happening at the Emirates Stadium.
Now, Arsenal are chasing a Premier League title and are desperate to do whatever it takes to bring the trophy home to N5. So if any big opportunities arise, again, circumstances could change.
Towards the latter stages of the summer window, Arsenal looked set to be done, only for Berta to convince Josh Kroenke to make two more signings.
If you were Andrea Berta and could sign any player in the world right now, who would it be and why?
The report claims that the Gunners are keen on signing Antoine Semenyo, but would only make their move in the winter should another left winger be sold.
Semenyo has a £65 million release clause, which will become active in January, with Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham also keen.
Eventually, Berta wants to sign a left winger for Arsenal, but that is now set to be put on hold until next summer.
Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi cover is now essential for Arsenal
If Arsenal are to make just one move in January, it should be to sign cover for Declan Rice and Zubimendi.
The Gunners are so reliant on the quality of both players, but have very little cover for either, which has seen them look shattered in recent matches.
Recently, Rice spoke about how he’s struggling to recover between matches, which should have been a warning sign for Berta.
It’s clear that Arteta does not fancy Christian Norgaard at Arsenal, so an alternative option should be sourced before one of Rice and Zubimendi pick up an issue.
