Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has warned that the club cannot “waste any windows” following their 0-0 draw with Newcastle on Tuesday night.
The Gunners failed to break down Eddie Howe’s resolute side at the Emirates.
It is indeed the first time they have failed to score in a Premier League fixture this season.
Despite needing a goal, Arteta only made one defensive substitution and didn’t bring on fresh legs in attack.
Speaking after the game, the Spaniard made it clear to Arsenal’s board that he needs reinforcements.
When asked if the result might have been different had Arsenal been able to get their January business done sooner, Arteta replied: “I don’t know, it’s something more for Edu and the board to respond.
“We are really trying to improve the squad in every window. This is no different.
“We will try to do our best because we cannot waste any windows with the squad and the numbers that we have. But we will try.”
