No panic buys for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta confirms daily transfer meetings with Jason Ayto Mikel Arteta says Arsenal will not be forced into a panic buy during the January transfer window.
“The good thing about that is that neither Jason, nor I, nor Richard [Garlick], nor Tim [Lewis], nor the owners has to convince any players to come to Arsenal - because of what Arsenal is and how Arsenal is perceived, and that is a massive bonus.”.
Jason Ayto, who was Edu’s No2, has stepped up to be the club’s interim sporting director and is leading their transfer business this month.
Arsenal are navigating this transfer window without their former sporting director Edu, who resigned in November.
“If we panic it means we are not prepared, and a big thing is preparation,” he said.
