With the January transfer window coming up, Arsenal might be able to sign some new players.

Arsenal's hoping to finally win the Premier League this season. Right now, they're leading the table, ahead of Manchester City and Aston Villa. Last game, the Gunners beat Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 at home.

Mikel Arteta could bring in some new faces in January. If he wants to, he could also let some players leave. This could free up space and money for the team.

Arsenal's Report on Davide Bartesaghi

Bartesaghi is 19 and signed with AC Milan until 2030, so they aren't in a hurry to sell him. They can wait for the right offer. The Italy youth player joined AC Milan in 2012, after a stint at Atalanta.

The defender has climbed through AC Milan’s youth system. He played a lot for them at different youth levels before getting into the first team. The teenager first played for the senior team in 2023 and has since played 28 games in all competitions, 13 of those being this season. Arsenal might see him as someone who could bring more competition and depth to their defence.

Arsenal's ready for the Aston Villa battle.

Arsenal plays again on Tuesday, trying to keep up their winning streak. They're up against Aston Villa, which will be tough since Unai Emery’s team is good. The Midlands team has won their last 12 games in all competitions and beat Chelsea 2-1 in their last game.

After the win against Brighton, Arteta said he was happy with how they played, both as individuals and as a team. He felt they were in charge and a big threat. He was pleased with everything but thought they should have won by more. He mentioned that with all the chances they created, it should never have been a 2-1 game. However, he accepted that's just how the Premier League is, and it's a step they need to take.

He also pointed out that Brighton's first shot resulted in a goal, and their goalie had to make another save to keep the lead. Despite having a lot of problems, he was glad they were dealing with them well. He noted that they lost Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice had to play as a full-back, and he still played great, showing how much they want to win.

William Saliba says Arsenal's busy January shows they're getting better and they're going for multiple trophies this season.

Arsenal's still in four competitions as the year turns over. They've got a League Cup semi-final against Chelsea, the FA Cup is about to start, and they're leading both the Premier League and Champions League tables.

Saliba thinks this packed schedule proves Arsenal's heading in the right direction.

Yeah, if we've got loads of matches, it means we're doing well, so we need to keep it up. Hopefully, the injured guys will be back in January to help us. We're doing fine; we're still in every competition, so we just need to keep pushing.

This attitude seems key to what Arsenal wants to achieve. They have nine games in January, so they'll be trying to test their strength, but Saliba thinks recent seasons have prepared them for it.

When asked if they could win more than one competition, the French defender was clear about Arsenal's goals.

Yes, for sure, because we think we can win every competition we're in. We've been close in the Premier League for the last three seasons, and last season we got to the Champions League and Carabao Cup semi-finals, so we know we can win anything. We just have to prove it on the pitch and start winning some trophies now.

This drive comes from what they've learned. Arsenal's been close to beating Manchester City and Liverpool in title races and gotten back into the later stages of European competition, but they haven't won any big silverware.

Saliba says just improving isn't enough anymore.

Of course, we want to win every competition. We know we're in the semi-finals now, so there are three games left for us, and we have to do the job against Chelsea. It's going to be a big game, a big derby, so we need to keep going. We know we are close and have to not repeat last season.

The Carabao Cup might be the first chance to make that belief real, and Saliba is clear about how important it is.

At the end, it's still a trophy, and when you retire, you count your trophies. The Carabao Cup counts—and we're in the semi-final, so we want to win it, just like every competition we enter.

The team's still feeling good, but Saliba says they're staying focused and realistic. Arsenal's at the top of the Premier League, almost through to the Champions League knockouts, and about to play Chelsea for a spot at Wembley.

The mood is good, but we know it's still December, and things can change fast in football, so we have to stay focused, believe in ourselves, and keep working hard because what matters is at the end, when we're holding the trophies, not before.

Mikel Arteta's squad is saying the same thing—belief is growing along with expectations.

For Saliba, the goal now is simple: Arsenal needs to back up their ambitions with actions.
