Overview
- Multiple reports say Arsenal expect to have money to spend in the winter window, though the scale of the budget remains unclear.
- One claim cites up to £100 million for January, a figure reported by a single outlet and not widely corroborated.
- Recruitment is expected to be measured rather than rushed, reflecting last January’s restraint followed by significant summer changes.
- Three longer-term targets being monitored include Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi, Bayern Munich’s Lennart Karl and Barcelona’s Marc Casado, with the feasibility of moves uncertain.
- Near-term priorities also include new contracts for Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice, as the league leaders weigh opportunistic January additions.
