Arsenal FC have done some business this January transfer window, but it’s all been in the selling category. The North London club have engaged in a good old-fashioned clearout, but they are yet to make any new major additions. 19-year-old Omar Rekik is the only player added thus far. It’s all according to the plan, says manager Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal have terminated the contracts of Mesut Ozil (who joined Fenerbahce) and Sokratis Papastathopoulos, who is now a free agent after failing to make a single appearance this season.
