Squad size means club must ‘maximise every transfer window’

William Saliba returns to training on Friday after he played less than 30 minutes in a walk-on part as France reached the World Cup final, meaning Arteta has a full complement of returnees from Qatar. “They were all fine,” said the manager. “Some came earlier than expected and they were buzzing to be back and part of it. I feel a really good energy around the place. They have got straight away into the rhythm and what we want.

Before the St Stephen’s Day’s home match with West Ham, a muscle injury to Reiss Nelson has further reduced Arteta’s attacking options, though Emile Smith Rowe’s return after an injury-ravaged season is imminent. On Nelson, Arteta said: “Reiss, he’s going to be out for a while. I think I’m talking about weeks. He felt something straight away and with sprinters that’s not a good sign.”

Before the transfer window opens on January 1st, Arsenal must negotiate West Ham, managed by David Moyes, Arteta’s mentor at Everton, before a New Year’s Eve game at Brighton. Arteta credited Moyes with a “huge impact” on his coaching career. “I am so grateful first of all for the trust he showed in me and how much I learned from him on the field, off the field about building a team, about getting the right characters in the team to build what you want.”During the six-week hiatus, Arteta travelled to the United States to meet the Kroenkes, Arsenal’s owners.

Meanwhile, Fulham are linked with the Arsenal defender Cédric Soares, though Arteta said: “We know where we are in terms of the squad and numbers that we have. We’ll be extremely cautious about what we want to do in the window.” — Guardian
