Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that his side will look to sign a new midfielder in the January transfer window.
The Gunners are set to wave goodbye to Ainsley Maitland-Niles ahead of his loan move to Roma, while Mohamed Elneny and Thomas Partey are at the Africa Cup of Nations.
As a result, Granit Xhaka and Albert Sambi Lokonga are the club's only senior midfield options right now, alongside 18-year-old Charlie Patino, and Arteta is hopeful of reinforcements.
