Transfer Live: Arsenal CEO Gives Update On Mudryk & Tielemans

Vinai Venkatesham, CEO of Arsenal, claims the club is prepared to spend during the January transfer window due to links to Mkyhalio Mudryk and Youri Tielemans.

With the addition of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Fabio Vieira to Mikel Arteta’s team in the summer of 2022, the Gunners made a great investment.

The north London team has moved to the top of the Premier League standings after a successful season, but more depth can yet be added to their roster as rumors say that highly-regarded players from Shakhtar Donetsk and Leicester City are being lined up.

About Arsenal’s objectives for the upcoming winter transfer window, Venkatesham spoke with Sky Sports; “We have got a very clear plan, headed up by Edu, about what we want to do to strengthen the squad. Every transfer window, of course we are going to look to see what opportunities are out there. If something makes sense from a technical perspective and a financial perspective, of course we’ll look at it. We are happy with the squad that we have got, but of course we’ll have a look at what’s around in every single transfer window. We have got a long-term plan to continue to strengthen the team.”

Pressed on supposed interest in Ukraine international winger Mudryk, Venkatesham added: “I’m not going to take about specific players.”

Prior to the Portuguese forward’s loan move to Chelsea, Arsenal was one of the clubs said to have been interested in signing Joao Felix.

The club will continue to trawl the market for prospective recruits until the next deadline, which passes on January 31.

Arsenal is currently concentrating on the players they already have available as Arteta’s team gets set for a crucial matchup against neighbors Tottenham on Sunday.
