Arsenal failed to recruit a single player in the transfer market this winter. Rumors of transfers with promising strikers such as Lee Kang-in, Benjamin Sheshko, Victor Osimhen, and Alexander Isak were circulating, but in the end, there was no income.

Sky Sports, a global media outlet, said on the 4th (Korea time) "Asnall's transfer market has ended." The stadium lights are on, but the office lights are off. "Arsnal Scouts went home. There is nothing to do."

Arsenal currently lack available resources for the offense due to the injury of ace Bukayo Saka and striker Gabriel Jeju. Kai Havertz, Martinelli and Trossar make up the offensive team, but if another departure occurs, the composition of the players will be difficult. In particular, there is a concern that the team will lose strength at the end of the season at a time when it is competing to win the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season. Coach Mikel Arteta also acknowledged that the squad was "very short" due to Saka Jeju's recent injury.




In the end, Arsenal are expected to focus on the summer transfer window. It seems that it is more important to consider carefully and recruit a sense of power as soon as it is done properly, rather than bringing in unwanted players through hasty recruitment.

Arsenal have been linked with a number of strikers this season. Lee Kang-in of the Korean national team was also included in this.

Last month, France's VIPSG announced that Arsenal, a London club in England, are considering recruiting Lee Kang-in from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)"It is Lee Kang-in's transfer fee that is currently holding back Arsenal. An unwelcome sum for Arsenal..." he reported.




Global media outlet The Athletic also said that Arsenal could start recruiting players through the transfer market this winter`"Lee Kang-in is one of the players the club is discussing.'

However, Arsenal did not pursue Lee Kang-in's transfer in the end. He also failed to recruit strikers such as Osimen and Isaac in the end after looking at them.

There were reports that Bayern Munich's Matistel was also interested, but he reportedly gave up recruiting before the closing of the transfer market. Tel eventually left for rival Tottenham.

Some point out that Arsenal, which ended the winter transfer market in vain, may have given up the competition for the championship. The plan is to significantly strengthen the squad for the summer transfer market after securing only tickets to the UEFA Champions League (UCL). Currently, Arsenal are six points behind the leader Liverpool with one more game. If Liverpool wins the next league game, there is actually a nine-point difference.

Jeju's return is possible at the end of the season, and Saka is likely to return in March. Before Saka's return, the key is how much Arsenal can chase Liverpool with their current strength. The team is in a good mood. Arsenal beat Manchester City 5-1 in the 24th round of the EPL held at the Emirates Stadium in London on Thursday. The most important thing to be careful about to continue this trend is the injury of the offense.
