Mikel Arteta said Arsenal will keep working to strengthen its squad until Tuesday night, the final day of the transfer window, but offered no names or positions.

Arteta spoke after Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Aston Villa. He said he had focused fully on the match for the previous 24 hours and would now turn his attention back to the transfer market.

As I have already said, we are trying to improve the team and until Tuesday night we are going to try to do it.

The manager said Arsenal’s needs could change during the season depending on injuries. He pointed to the absence of Jurrien Timber and said the club would have faced a major problem if it had suffered another injury in the defensive line. Arsenal responded by signing Ezri Konsa.

Arteta also said Mosquera could not continue during the match, reinforcing his view that Arsenal needs substantial squad depth while competing in four competitions. The club has been linked with Atlético Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, although the player is reportedly not currently convinced about moving to London.

We can talk about now, but it could change.
