Arteta set to trim Arsenal squad in January

**The January transfer window opens on Saturday and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s main focus is on offloading some players from his squad.


Mikel Arteta has made trimming Arsenal’s squad his priority for the January transfer window, admitting the club “cannot sustain” the number of players currently on their books.

The Gunners brought in five new first-team players during the close season but only made one sale, with back-up goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez heading to Aston Villa.

A number of big names, such as Mesut Ozil, Shkodran Mustafi, Sead Kolasinac and Sokratis Papastathopoulos, have subsequently struggled for minutes this term or been frozen out.

And while Arsenal continue to be linked with the likes of Isco and Joan Jordan, Arteta is keen to offload before bringing in any more new faces.

Look at this revealing statistics.

Look at Leicester, Look at Leicester’s away record. Phenomenal! :love_you_gesture: Look at contrasting record of Liverpool! :roll_eyes: But to be fair to them, If they are not winning away games, they are not loosing them either.

MU, Spurs, Everton, City etc seems to in balance.

But, The most balanced of the lot is Sheffield. :smiley:
