When the Gunners manager was asked about the transfer incoming this month, he said that the club are working on two deals in the last few days of the winter window.
Speaking in the Pre-match press conference, Unai Emery said “Nil or the possibility of two. Between nil and two. Zero is they aren’t coming to help us like we want, I would prefer that they don’t come. And two because we are looking at two different players and the possibility that they can come.”
