Arteta: Arsenal want to strengthen squad in January
2022-12-23 13:12Premier League leaders Arsenal will aim to bolster their squad for the January transfer window but must identify players with the right quality, manager Mikel Arteta said on Thursday .
The Gunners head into the World Cup break with five points after 14 games but will be without long-term injury victim Gabriel Jesus after the Brazil striker underwent surgery in Qatar on a knee problem.
" We will be active (in the January window), which means we want to strengthen the squad , " Arteta told reporters ahead of West Ham's visit on December 26 .
" This team still doesn't have the luxury of maxing out every window. But it has to be the right players.
" We know where we are in terms of squad and numbers. We'll be very careful about what we want to do in the window. "
Losing Rice Nelson is a huge blow
Winger Reiss Nelson could be sidelined for some time with a hamstring problem, while attacking midfielder Emil Smith Roe is on the verge of returning from a groin injury .
" For Gabi, it's difficult to set a timetable. Knowing him, I'd rather not give any dates, " Arteta added.
" With Rice , he's going to be out for a while. Emile is close. He's had a setback but he's close. "
France centre-back William Saliba will also miss the game as he is yet to return from international duty.
