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.
He told Bloomberg: “Well listen, we’ve just been through the transfer period in the summer, that’s what we always call the main transfer window.
“We were very aggressive in that transfer window, signing a number of new players that we’re very excited about, predominately targeting young players that we believe can grow and develop with us over future years.
“When we look forward to January, we’ll see when January comes. I’d say that we always treat the summer window as being the more strategic window.
“The January window is the one where you need to be a bit more tactical, maybe responding to an injury or another demand. But really our work is done in the summer and we’re really pleased with what we did in the summer.
“Listen, as I’ve said, we’ve been really focused over the summer, we made some defensive reinforcements signing David Luiz from Chelsea and Kieran Tierney from Celtic.
“We’re looking forward to seeing how those players progress and how they do over the course of the season.
“The players that we look for are the players we believe will make the biggest impact on the pitch from a sporting perspective.”
