Arteta SHOCK everyone as he names the kind of players he will not sign this January amidst Mudryk and Joao Felix £130m talks

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has stressed that he would sign players in January but named the players that wont join the club.

He said he will not sign players on from “League Five in Spain”, as he looks to rebuild his team and reinforce for the remaining part of the season m

When asked if Arsenal can afford to exit the window without a striker after last year’s experience, Arteta replied: “Can we afford not getting the player that we want?

“That is my question. We can afford to get a striker for sure if we want one, I don’t know if he plays in League Two, in League Five, in Spain, in Portugal, in Africa. We can get a striker I can guarantee you that. But what we can not afford to do is get a player here that is not for us. This is what we can not afford, that is for sure.

“We don’t need a body, we need players that make the team better. I think personalities that have the mentality that we want to win. And we have to focus on that. We have to be very strict with what we have done and the policy we have had to make the team successful.”
