The transfer window has closed and clubs can no longer do business with each other or the majority of the world, but can still conclude a few more deals.
The Gunners opted against majorly improving squad, they did not make a single signing mid-season, after , Mikel Merino, David Raya, and Neto arrived in the summer.
Both with them to bring in another striker, following injuries to and Gabriel Jesus, in order to compete with at the top of the table.
But have kept faith with their current crop of players, even though more business can still be done. Here, Express Sport looks at what moves may take place after the winter window closes…
out
Transfer windows are still open in Turkey (Feb 11), Portugal (Feb 4), MLS (April 23) and Australia (Feb 12) among other leagues across the globe.
And in the summer, ending a miserable few years in north London.
But there is nothing stopping the Scotland international leaving on loan for a few months to get up to match fitness.
He has made a few sparse appearances this season, but have a glut of left-backs and the 27-year-old will want to be up to speed when he heads home to Celtic Park next season.

Signing Diego Costa
None of , Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko or Ollie Watkins headed to the Emirates this winter, but that does not mean that a striker cannot arrive at all.
Former , Atletico Madrid and Wolves striker Diego Costa is a free agent, meaning that can sign him at any point throughout the season.
He was most recently playing in Brazil for Botofogo and Gremio and his greatest days are in the past, but Gunners fans will remember the presence he brings, the 37-year-old is a dangerous and powerful threat.
Costa is one example, but there are a host of forwards still without a club…
Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko exits
With , coupled with Ricciardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber’s ability to play on that side of the back four, Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko’s days appear numbered.
Neither player left during the English window but could still depart to Turkey, Portugal, MLS or Australia.
Kiwior especially was of interest to several Serie A sides earlier in the window, but a move failed to materialise.
Both Kiwior and Zinchenko likely would not be short of offers if they are available, even though would struggle to find any immediate replacements.
