There are now just a matter of days left in the transfer window. For Arsene Wenger and Arsenal, that could mean one last opportunity to strengthen the squad. With their title hopes dented after the defeat against Chelsea, perhaps Wenger will consider opening his chequebook one more time to ensure he has the requisite depth to get Arsenal over the line.
Prior to the Chelsea game, he certainly wasn’t planning on any last-minute additions. Arsenal have already made one signing in this window, acquiring Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Elneny from Basel. They signed him to help assuage an injury crisis—at one stage, Francis Coquelin, Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta, Tomas Rosicky and Jack Wilshere were all simultaneously sidelined.
