Arsenal are yet to make any moves in the January transfer window but Mikel Arteta continues to discuss potential arrivals with the club's bosses as they plot their recruitment

Mikel Arteta admitted his envy at Liverpool's greater strength in depth after Arsenal lost ground in the Premier League title race with a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are “very short” in attack and need reinforcements after they dropped more points in the title race by drawing with Aston Villa. The Gunners had been two goals to the good against Villa, but conceded twice in the space of eight second-half minutes to draw.

Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn has emplored Mikel Arteta to sign a new striker before the January transfer window closes. Injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka have further reduced the Gunners’ attacking options and a lack of firepower is undermining the north London club’s title aspirations.

Mikel Arteta has urged the Arsenal board to back him in the January transfer window after being held to a 2-2 draw by Aston Villa at the Emirates on Saturday.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is ready to call upon Declan Rice as an emergency option at centre-back in the absence of William Saliba. Saliba missed Saturday’s draw with Aston Villa due to a hamstring injury picked up in the north London derby last Wednesday.

Arsenal are hoping to sign an attacker within the next two weeks as Mikel Arteta hopes to address issues in front of goal as the club continues to chase Liverpool in the Premier League. Recent reports have placed RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko on the list of potential moves the Spaniard could make.

Mikel Arteta has admitted that William Saliba’s injury setback has forced him to consider a new role for Declan Rice. Saliba missed Saturday’s disappointing 2-2 draw against Aston Villa after he pulled up during the closing stages of last week’s north London derby win over Tottenham.
