The Gunners' failure to spend money in January has become a common practice in recent years. Last season, a lack of players was said to be the reason why they lost the championship. This season, with the gap at the top of the table increasing and key players such as Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka injured, many expected Arsenal to make strong moves in the transfer market, but in the end, they remained silent.
One of the main reasons for this decision is the change in the director of football position, with Edu Gaspar leaving and Jason Ayto taking over on an interim basis. Arsenal are in the process of looking for a replacement, with Tomas Rosicky, Roberto Olabe and Luis Campos being considered as potential candidates. However, the most important factor is still the issue of quality and cost-effectiveness. Arsenal are determined not to compromise on quality, even when it comes to spending a large sum of money. In the case of Ollie Watkins, for example, Aston Villa wanted £60 million, but Arsenal were only willing to pay £40 million with add-ons, believing that this price was not commensurate with the player's value.
UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations are also a factor. Arsenal have spent a lot of money to compete for the title and FFP compliance is a top priority. The club hopes to have more spending space in the summer transfer window. In addition, some targets such as Mathys Tel, Dusan Vlahovic or Victor Osimhen are not suitable for various reasons, from high wages to lack of Premier League experience.
The current situation has left Arsenal's attack vulnerable with Kai Havertz the only option, an injury to him could seriously affect the team's goals. However, the recent 5-1 win with many different players scoring shows that Arsenal can still play at a high level, but this depends a lot on luck in the coming months. In terms of personnel, there are not many changes, with Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jorginho expected to continue. Kieran Tierney is expected to join Celtic in the summer. It is clear that Arsenal's lack of signings in this transfer window comes from many different factors. Their caution in financial matters and recruitment, while also needing luck, may show that the Emirates team's goals this year are more realistic when looking objectively at their position and real ability.
