Forward Gabriel Jesus sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during the FA Cup match against Manchester United, which is expected to sideline him for nine months to a year. Additionally, winger Bukayo Saka is out until March due to hamstring surgery.
Addressing the club's transfer strategy, Arteta stated, "We lost two players (Saka and Gabriel Jesus) so we need some support there. We are trying to find the best possible solution." He further emphasized the club's proactive approach, saying, "We are going to try to see what we can do."
In response to these setbacks, Arsenal is reportedly targeting several players to bolster their attacking options. Potential signings include Juventus' Dusan Vlahovic, Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres, and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. The club is also confident of securing Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi in a £51 million deal during the summer transfer window.
These injuries have significantly impacted Arsenal's squad depth, particularly in attack. Arteta acknowledged the challenges ahead, stating, "We are very worried today... Let's wait until the tests." Despite these difficulties, the club remains committed to strengthening the team to maintain competitiveness in the league.
