The January transfer window is pretty much halfway done and Arsenal are still yet to see a new signing come through their doors. Mikel Arteta has admitted the Gunners are working hard to take advantage of any opportunities, with the north London side limited due to injuries at the mooment. "My answer doesn’t change," the Spaniard said.
"We are actively looking in the market to improve the squad. We have been since day one. It would be naive not to do that because there is always an opportunity to evolve the team and improve the squad. Especially with the circumstances we have. The north London side appear to have made some progress in their bid to sign Martin Zubimendi, but he is unlikely to join until the summer. Mirror Football takes a look at the latest transfer news and rumours and the Emirates.
Ronald Araujo has delivered Arsenal a blow as the Gunners prepared to make an offer for the Barcelona defender. After instructing his agents to find an exit route from Camp Nou, Juventus have already seen a bid rejected by Barca. The Italians were said to be considering their options with Arsenal plotting to enter the race. However, Araujo has now been persuaded by sporting director Deco to remain with the Catalan side.
The Uruguay international's contract expires in 2026 but after missing much of this season to a hamstring injury has made just two appearances in 2024/25. Mundo Deportivo report Araujo took a ‘radical turn’ following his outing in the Super Cup win over Real Madrid, with Deco making a breakthrough following talks on Tuesday.
