LONDON -- Maybe Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and set-pieces are not enough to win the Premier League after all. Arsenal have more about them than that, of course, but much of the frustration over Saturday's 0-0 draw against Everton will likely be channelled toward the club's approach to the January transfer market.
The Gunners were not planning to spend big next month despite the sense of title possibility created by Manchester City's return to Earth. City are making it known they will back Pep Guardiola in the market as they seek to arrest their alarming decline, but Arsenal are presently of the view that only injuries or an exceptional, unexpected opportunity will push them to commit a considerable sum in January.
