Will Arsenal sign anyone in January to bring that va-va-voom?
Alex: Arsenal always say they are open to moving in the transfer market, if the opportunity allows. The Gunners were exploring deals for forwards in the summer but they didn't bring one in, so that money will still be available. Having said that, we saw that Manchester City were able to sign Antoine Semenyo in january 2025 and he helped lift their attack, so Arsenal will keep across their targets…
In the final portion of our special Q&A, Arsenal correspondent Alex Howell addresses whether the club will seek additional goal-scoring talent in January. Karl inquired: Will the team sign anyone in January? While early in the season, Alex acknowledges Arsenal's apparent lack of offensive firepower when key players Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard are absent.
He confirms that Arsenal has maintained an open stance on transfers throughout the summer, meaning funds previously earmarked for forward acquisitions remain available. However, the unpredictability of the January transfer window is a concern. Despite this, Arsenal has managed to sign players like Antoine Semenyo in January 2025, whose contributions bolstered their attack, suggesting the Gunners will remain open to potential targets.
The squad's current form of forwards also influences the decision, with Eberechi Eze seen as a potential catalyst for improvement when reaching peak performance. The primary hurdle in securing top-tier strikers, according to Alex, lies in the reluctance of clubs to offload such players, making the process of procuring a world-class forward challenging but not impossible.
