Arsenal backed to make January transfer decision despite Unai Emery strugglesArsenal will not look to recruit a centre-back in the January transfer window despite their defensive woes under Unai Emery. Arsenal have conceded 17 goals in the Premier League this season, giving them only the ninth-best defensive record in the league. In addition, £27million signing William Saliba will bolster the backline in the summer after completing his season-long loan at boyhood club Saint-Etienne. The highly-rated teenager suffered a blow to his progress last month, however, breaking his foot while representing the Ligue 1 club. Arsenal are usually tentative to dip their toes into the January market, preferring to make marquee signings in the summer.
