Arsenal director hints at quiet January transfer window for Gunners

Vinai Venkatesham says those at Emirates Stadium are focused on doing most of their recruitment work over the summer, not in the middle of a season

Arsenal managing director Vinai Venkatesham has suggested that a quiet January transfer window will be taken in by the Gunners.

Those at Emirates Stadium loosened the purse strings a little over the summer, with the club breaking tradition by investing heavily in fresh faces.

Nicolas Pepe arrived in a record-setting £72 million ($90m) deal, while agreements were also pushed through for the likes of David Luiz and Kieran Tierney.
