He also spoke about making signings in the January transfer window, claiming that the Gunners are willing to sign a player if he matches all the criteria.

Reason why Gedson joined Spurs
Tottenham Hotspur announced the signing of Gedson Fernandes from Benfica on an 18-month loan deal with an option to buy him permanently for reportedly around €50 million.
After signing for the Lilywhites, Gedson revealed that he joined because he wants to work with Jose Mourinho as he is one of the best managers in the world. The 21-year-old said,
"All young players want to work with Jose Mourinho because he's one of the best – all of us as players want to stay near the best, so it's fantastic to work with him."
Pogba wants to leave United
According to report from Sky in Germany, Paul Pogba is still looking to leave Manchester United and is most likely to leave the club in the summer amid interest from Juventus and Real Madrid.
He will only have a year left in his contract in the summer, which is why the Red Devils might want to sell him as they will otherwise risk losing him for free in 2021.
