When asked about Felix’s rumored impending transfer to Stamford Bridge by ITV Sport, Arteta responded, “My duty is to make those players as good as I can. I’ll make an effort to achieve that, and if we get any help, terrific.
The Arsenal manager continued, describing efforts to bring in attacking reinforcements as Eddie Nketiah took over as the team’s lone senior striker while Gabriel Jesus, a Brazilian international, was sidelined due to injury: The issue is that we only have one.
And it’s not easy to wait that long till Gabby returns. However, we must make the most of the players we currently have, and if we can obtain more reinforcements, then better.
Nketiah scored twice as Arsenal overcame Oxford 3-0 in the FA Cup third round, giving him five goals in his previous five games. However, it is clear that the Gunners’ squad needs more depth if they are to win the domestic cup in addition to the Premier League and Europa League championships.
