Mikel Arteta says he is in “constant contact” with Arsenal’s owners as the club try to bring in a forward before the end of the January transfer window. The Gunners are on the hunt for attacking reinforcements after Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus suffered injuries.
Arteta has confirmed the club are trying to get someone in before the transfer window shuts on February 3 and he is in dialogue with Arsenal’s owners. Co-chair Josh Kroenke is currently in the UK after flying in from the US at the start of this week and he is set to attend Wednesday’s Champions League with Dinamo Zagreb at Emirates Stadium.
“We are in constant contact, obviously - understanding the situation, how the team is evolving,” said Arteta. “Obviously, some of the big news that we had, unfortunately, they weren’t that positive. How we’re feeling about it, they’ve been super supportive and they continue to be so.”.
Asked if the owners are prepared to back him this month, Arteta added: “First of all, it’s backing the club and themselves, you know, because we all want the best. “The decision that we make is not to back anybody, it’s just something that makes sense, that is going to improve the squad, that is going to give us the ability to perform to a level and to win the things that we want to do. If that’s the case and we have the resources to do it, we will try.”.
