Eddie Howe, Newcastle United's manager, has stated that the answers to the team's current challenges lie within the existing squad, according to Lee Ryder. Despite facing a difficult period marked by injuries and fan discontent, Howe believes in the potential of his players. Conversely, Arsenal's Mikel Arteta has not committed to new signings in the January transfer window, instead emphasizing the need to focus on upcoming games. Arteta, quoted by Kay Kaynak, acknowledges the team's shortage of players and mentions having certain targets, while also noting the unpredictability of the transfer market. Reports from The Athletic suggest Arsenal is considering short-term loans, particularly for defensive and midfield positions, and is open to Aaron Ramsdale's departure for the right price. Arteta has also indicated that the club is willing to be active in the market to strengthen the squad if necessary.
