Arteta reveals the extra mile he’s doing to sign a forward in this transfer window

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that he is in “constant contact” with the club’s owners as the Gunners push to secure a forward signing before the January transfer window closes. According to journalist Simon Collings, co-chair Josh Kroenke is currently in London and is expected to attend Arsenal’s game tomorrow, further highlighting the urgency of the club’s transfer efforts.
Arsenal’s Winter Window Ambitions
With less than two weeks left in the January transfer window, Arsenal remains determined to strengthen their squad, particularly in the attacking department. Injuries to key players such as Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka, coupled with a packed schedule of domestic and European fixtures, have emphasized the need for reinforcements.
Speaking about the situation, Arteta highlighted the proactive approach being taken:
“We are in constant contact with the owners. They know exactly what we want to do and how we can improve the team. Everyone is aligned in trying to find the right solutions for the squad.”
Arteta’s comments underline the collaborative effort between the club’s management and ownership to ensure Arsenal remains competitive in their pursuit of the Premier League title and Champions League glory.
Josh Kroenke’s Presence in London
Josh Kroenke, co-chair of Arsenal and a key figure in the club’s decision-making process, is currently in London and expected to be at the Emirates tomorrow. His presence is seen as a significant sign of the owners’ commitment to supporting Arteta’s ambitions during this crucial phase of the season.
Kroenke has played an active role in Arsenal’s recent transfer successes, including the acquisitions of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber last summer. His involvement in the January window suggests that Arsenal are willing to make a late push for their targets, especially with the team in contention for major honors this season.
Targeting a Forward
Arsenal’s need for a forward signing has become increasingly apparent. Injuries have left the squad thin in attacking options, and while players like Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah have stepped up, the Gunners require additional depth to sustain their momentum.
The club has been linked with several forwards, including Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Red Bull Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško, although both deals are complicated by high fees and January availability. Arsenal are reportedly exploring other options to secure a versatile and impactful attacker who can contribute immediately.
A Collaborative Effort
Arteta’s close communication with the ownership reflects the alignment and trust within the club’s hierarchy. The manager has often praised the Kroenkes for their support, and their willingness to invest in the squad has been evident over the past few transfer windows.
“The owners are committed to helping us achieve our goals,” Arteta said. “We have to work together to find the right players and solutions. We know the challenges, but we are prepared to face them.”
Looking Ahead
As the clock ticks down on the January transfer window, Arsenal fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on potential signings. With Josh Kroenke in town and Arteta pushing for reinforcements, the Gunners appear poised to make a late splash in the market.
For Arsenal, bringing in a quality forward could make the difference in their pursuit of silverware this season, ensuring they have the firepower to compete at the highest level across all competitions.
