Mikel Arteta did not exclude a last -minute signature while Arsenal rushes to strengthen their attack before closing the transfer window.
The artillerymen desperately needed fire power after an injury potentially at the end of the knee at Gabriel Jesus, aggravated by the recent reverse of Bukayo Saka.
Arsenal had an ambitious offer for the striker in England Ollie Watkins refused by Aston Villa last month, but Arteta still keeps his options open.
Speaking after the categorical victory of Arsenal 5-1 against Manchester City, the Spaniard admitted a signature before the deadline for 11 p.m. Monday. However, he also revealed that he had not actively checked the market in the hours preceding the match.
He said, “We try everything we can, but I don’t want to reassure or not. It doesn’t just depend on us.
“We have the intention, the goal and the ambition to try to help the team and support the team to be better and finish the really, really strong season.
“We actively try to do so. I am very confident with the work that the club does and explores every opportunity which, in our view, can have an impact on the team.
“If this is certainly the case and we can agree on something, we will. “And if not, we will not. I’m not going to talk about anyone.
Arsenal continues the title of title of Premier League
The victory of the Arsenal Declaration against City exploded the title race. The goals of Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri reduced the gap to the leaders of the Liverpool League to only six points.
The result also expresses the pressure on the boss of the city Pep Guardiola, whose team is now struggling to keep the pace at the top.
The club’s defeat against the Gunners has been their biggest defeat since 2008.
