# Arsenal: Fans left unhappy after update on potential signings

**Arsenal fans have been left unhappy after they received an update on the club’s plans this month.**

[According to Charles Watt from Goal](https://twitter.com/charles_watts/status/1214514974858600448?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet), the club are focusing on making ‘one or two’ loan signings in the current transfer window.

The Gunners will be hoping for a better loan signing than the disastrous transfer of Denis Suarez a year ago.

Suarez joined the club on transfer deadline day from Spanish club Barcelona until the end of the season on a loan deal with an option of a permanent contract [(via The Independent)](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-denis-suarez-loan-barcelona-premier-league-transfer-news-a8756136.html).

However, the move never worked out with the 26-year-old only playing a total of 95 minutes across the Premier League and Europa League [(via Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/denis-suarez/leistungsdaten/spieler/165007/plus/0?saison=2018).

This term they have been linked with moves for the likes of Jerome Boateng and Thomas Lemar, however, both deals seem out of reach.

Bayern Munich coach [Hansi Flick](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/jerome-boateng-arsenal-arteta-leeds-17514367) has claimed he ‘cannot imagine’ the player leaving, while, Atletico Madrid are looking for a loan fee in the region of [€6m](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/tottenham-news-thomas-lemar-transfer-loan-arsenal-atletico-madrid-latest-a9272441.html) (per the Independent) (roughly £5.1m).

Despite the conflicting reports, fans were left feeling unhappy about the update over the club’s plans as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:
