Andrea Berta may be ready to invest again this month as the Premier League title competition intensifies
Andrea Berta is racing against time to enhance Mikel Arteta’s squad. The sporting director of Arsenal has only a few weeks left to bring in one or two new players to the Emirates Stadium and strengthen their title challenge.
This summer, Arsenal invested nearly £300 million on new signings. Berta initiated the spending spree by acquiring Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea and Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
Following the departures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey, Arsenal sought another midfielder, leading to the signing of Christian Norgaard from Brentford. In a visit to west London, Berta also secured Noni Madueke from the Blues.
Alongside Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Viktor Gyokeres, and Eberechi Eze also joined the Emirates, increasing Arsenal’s total expenditures to around £190 million. Finally, at the last moment, Berta secured Piero Hincapie on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, with an option to make the transfer permanent.
Despite extensive summer spending, Berta believes there is still room for enhancements. With assistance from BOYLE Sports, football.london has identified nine targets Arsenal could pursue before the transfer window closes at 7pm on February 2.
