The Emirates Stadium is a football stadium in Holloway, London, England. It has been the home stadium of Arsenal Football Club since its completion in 2006. Arsenal’s women’s team made the stadium their home in 2024.

Mikel Arteta Amatriain is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is the manager of Premier League club Arsenal Following injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, the Gunners were expected to reinforce their frontline and were strongly linked with Ollie Watkins, Mathys Tel, and

Benjamin Sesko. Reports also suggested a late move for Alvaro Morata was considered, but no deal materialised. He continued: “When you try your best, share the same intentions, and still don’t achieve it, there are things to learn from. But you have to move on. That was an important piece in the moment, but now we’ve moved on.”

Whether they will return with an improved offer remains uncertain. However, the Gunners may yet stun us as they have done in the past with several January signings. Here are the top five deals they’ve managed to pull off dating back to the Arsene Wenger era:

Nacho Monreal is a signing that only Arsenal fans can fully appreciate. The Spanish defender arrived on the final day of the 2013 January window. Despite his modest £8.5m fee, signing from Malaga, he went on to exceed all expectations.

The Gunners are challenging for the Premier League title for the third season in a row but a number of injuries to key players and inconsistent results has seen them slip to six points behind Liverpool, who also have a game in hand.

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice said after the win over north London rivals Tottenham that he would not be “surprised” if Arsenal do try to sign a striker in this window, but Arteta said his players haven’t said to him that they feel like they need someone to come in.

With Arsenal still competing on multiple fronts, Havertz’s endurance will be tested. Arteta praised the forward’s meticulous approach to his fitness, describing his professionalism as “immaculate.” He added: “When you see the professional, how he lives his life, it is immaculate. He does more than any other player there. That is not a coincidence. And he is so intelligent. He knows what is good for him and what is not.”

“We had a clear intention which is always there is a window open to explore the opportunities to improve our squad with players that can impact it,” Arteta said. “We haven’t achieved it so we are disappointed in that sense but as well we are very aware that we only want to bring ­certain kinds of players and we have to be very disciplined with that and I think we will.”

‘When you try your best and you do things with the right process and you see the people that we all share the same intentions and wills and after you don’t achieve it, for sure there are things to learn from it, there always are, but you have to move on and that’s a piece that was important in the moment and now we have to move on.

“I am coming off a long injury, but by now I am fit and know that my time will come again. In every tough period there are also positive elements and in this case that is that I have become much stronger physically and mentally.

A disappointing first-leg meeting between Arsenal and Newcastle saw the Magpies win 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, setting up a real test of Mikel Arteta’s side as they look to pick up their first trophy of the season. Arsenal enter the clash at St. James’ Park in high spirits though, beating Manchester City 5-1 in the Premier League on the weekend.

St. James’ Park has proven to be a difficult trip for Arteta’s side, with Newcastle winning three of the last four meetings on Tyneside. If the Gunners win by two goals in 90 minutes, the game will go to extra-time, while a victory by any larger margin would see them win the tie without the added 30 minutes.

An injury-hit Bournemouth ran out 4-1 winners on January 18 and then last weekend Fulham came from behind to win 2-1 after two goals in the final half-hour.

Mikel Arteta has explained the current status at Arsenal as they look to sign a new forward in the January transfer window to provide more options with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus out. “At the moment we don’t have them, we are actively trying to find the best possible solution but we will have to wait and see what we can do,” he said today. “Obviously we have lost two massive players for us in the frontline and we need some support there.”
