EPL: Arteta speaks on Arsenal’s plans for January transfer window

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has spoken about the club’s plans for the January transfer window.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Arteta admitted that the club have a shortlist of players they would try to sign.

However, he claimed that they are in no position to sell or send any player on loan as they need more players in their squad to strengthen their bench.

“At the moment, it’s very difficult. We are really short,” Arteta said.

“There are positions where we’ve been exposed in the last few weeks. Hopefully, we’ll get players back; in what condition and when, that’s a different condition.”

He added: “We have certain targets and ideas. We don’t know how the squad is going to look in two weeks. It’s a very tricky market that shifts quite quickly. If there is something that can improve the squad, we’re always going to be open to doing that.”
