“My opinion is clear. We lost two very important players in Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. We lack goals, we lack people and we lack options. It’s clear.

“If we can get the right player that’s why we are actively looking at it. We are working on it, yes. Any player? No. Someone who makes us better. We need some help. Yeah (There is work going on now), " Arteta said.

With the January transfer window closing within a week, Arsenal face a race against time to secure their target.
