That’s according to The Sun, who outline that Arsenal’s managing director, Richard Garlick, flew to the United States this week for a meeting with Stan Kroenke and his son, Josh.
Plans for next summer’s transfer window were discussed, as was the search for a new sporting director following Edu’s resignation earlier this month.
The Gunners splashed out in the summer to bring David Raya, Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino in on permanent deals, while Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto and Raheem Sterling also joined the club on loan shortly before the transfer deadline.
Both Calafiori and Merino have spent time on the sidelines since joining, with the former now expected to return to action shortly after the international break.
But with Arsenal’s injury woes now seemingly clearing, it appears it will be business as usual for Arteta and co unless there are any drastic changes between now and the New Year.
There had been question marks over whether or not Arsenal would move for a striker in January after keeping their powder dry in the summer. Primary target Benjamin Sesko opted to sign a new contract with Red Bull Leipzig, while Viktor Gyokeres – who the Gunners were heavily linked with – stayed put at Sporting Lisbon.
Gyokeres has since been touted as a potential target for Manchester United following Ruben Amorim ‘s switch to Old Trafford, though the former Sporting chief has vowed he will not try to sign the Sweden international from his old club in the January window.
