It has been a whirlwind of change that has happened with Arsenal over the course of the summer. There have been some changes on the pitch but more has taken place off it.
Apart from the managerial change, there has been a reshuffle in the Arsenal power structure. With the exit of former CEO Ivan Gazidis, Raul Sanllehi and Vinai Venkatesam have been handed the keys to the functioning of the Gunners.
They recently gave an interview where they spoke about various topics including transfers.
When asked if the club would be interested in making any signings, this is what Sanllehi had to say(as per Express):
“Unless something special comes up, in principle, the winter window is not one that we are really interested.
“We are always looking at the market and opportunities that could appear. Normally, I am not a strong fan of the winter window.”
For fans of the club, they have heard this kind of statement before as it is a very similar thing to what former manager Arsene Wenger used to say.
But, given the number of signings that were made in the summer, it is a little doubtful that the Gunners would dip their hands in the January transfer window.
All said and done, this situation could change in the coming months and if the board feel that they have truly found someone special, they will possibly make a move for him.
This new structure is something that the club is not really used to as it has never been the case with the Gunners. But, this is the way most clubs operate these days so the board has to change with the times.
After a rough start, the Gunners have bounced back in spectacular fashion by going on a ten match winning streak that they will look to extend for as long as possible. Though it is true that the club has tougher tests coming up, with the support of the Arsenal board, Unai Emery and his men can do wonders. This is an important season for the London club and their primary objective will be to get back into the Champions League.
