Although the transfer window is closed, clubs can still make additions to their squads by bringing in players who are currently out of contract.
Arsene Wenger, like the other managers of the top clubs in England, chose not to make any major additions to his Arsenal squad over the course of January but did admit that he has his eye on some potential summer targets too.

Plenty of clubs have done this in the recent past with great success, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Joel Matip are two players at other top six clubs who moved in such a manner.
