Transfer deadline day for Arsenal sounds far more thrilling than it actually was because of a deal featuring a player named Maldini.
In actuality, it lacked the spectacular displays that supporters had hoped for, and Arsenal took a significant risk by choosing not to buy a new forward.

Even before Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus were injured, there was a claim that Mikel Arteta’s team needed reinforcements.
However, they now appear to have few attacking options.
Kai Havertz’s injury would deprive Arsenal of a reliable striker.
Leandro Trossard is one of only four available alternatives, although he could fill in there. Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Martinelli, and Ethan Nwaneri are the other three wingers.
Due to Nwaneri’s conversion to an out wide option, Arsenal is now a light midfielder. This season, Sterling has only started eight games and scored one goal, reports Standard.
Ultimately, the only transaction that took place within the club was the loan signing of teenage center-back Maldini Kacurri to League Two team Bromley.
Given that Arteta has emphasized the need for attacking additions in recent weeks, how did Arsenal arrive at this point?
Some will bring up the fact that Edu, the sporting director, quit in November, but the recruitment staff has been active ever since, and Arsenal is in a strong position to sign Martin Zubimendi, a midfielder for Real Sociedad, in the summer.
