Arsenal currently leads the Premier League, a testament to their strategic rebuilding efforts. The team appears remarkably resilient, better prepared to navigate injuries than in previous seasons.
Despite this strong position, the club isn’t actively pursuing new players in the upcoming January transfer window. Their summer investments have yielded a squad with sufficient depth and quality.
However, a period of potential departures isn’t entirely off the table. Arsenal is prepared to consider offers for three current squad members if compelling bids materialize.
Gabriel Martinelli, despite his talent, has seen limited playing time due to both injury and the impressive form of Leandro Trossard. Interest from Saudi Arabian clubs surfaced during the summer, and with his contract nearing its end, the club may be receptive to a significant offer.
Ben White has also found opportunities scarce this season, largely due to the emergence of Jurrien Timber. While a versatile defender, Arsenal would reportedly entertain offers for the 28-year-old.
Gabriel Jesus is nearing a return to full fitness after a prolonged knee injury. Yet, even his comeback doesn’t preclude the possibility of the club considering offers for the Brazilian forward.
Alongside potential outgoings, Arsenal is prioritizing the long-term commitment of key players. Contract negotiations are underway with Bukayo Saka, progressing positively with both sides eager to reach an agreement.
Jurrien Timber is also in line for a new deal, reflecting the manager’s high regard for the Dutch defender and belief in his substantial potential. Discussions are already well advanced.
Declan Rice, a pivotal figure in Arteta’s midfield, is also a candidate for a contract extension. The club intends to initiate talks to secure his future and reward his impact.
These contract discussions underscore Arsenal’s commitment to building a sustainable foundation for continued success, ensuring their brightest talents remain at the forefront of the club’s ambitions.
