Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal transfer business has left him 'disappointed' after they failed to sign £60m Ollie Watkins - and ex-Chelsea flop Alvaro Morata went to Galatasaray

Mikel Arteta has refused to hide his disappointment after Arsenal failed to sign a striker in the winter transfer window.

Fans have been calling for the Gunners to strengthen in the final third in recent weeks, especially after injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.

However, Arsenal were unable to bring in any players in the final days of the window, and Arteta has admitted he is unhappy with his lack of options up front.

'We had a clear intention… we have not achieved it,' Arteta said in his press conference ahead of tomorrow night's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Newcastle.
