“I’ll be busy, that’s for sure,” he replied when asked about his January transfer business.
“I’m already busy and I said already one month ago we are a bit short to deal with all the competitions we face, especially in midfield. We will be busy, yes.”
FC Basel and Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Elneny is expected to be the Gunners first signing when the transfer window opens later this week.
