Arsenal tried for a striker, but will now stick to long-term plans

Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth:

Arsenal's transfer window was dominated by a search for a striker following the injury suffered to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. Mikel Arteta and the recruitment team worked hard to try and bring someone in.

There was a bid that was rejected by Aston Villa for Ollie Watkins and there was interest in a number of other players, including Mathys Tel, but it was decided they would revert back to the longer-term summer plans and a decision was made not to recruit in January.
