Mikel Arteta has said his Arsenal players "recognise" the need for a new signing this month and he is talking to his squad about possible targets.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says the club are "actively looking" to sign a striker in the January transfer window.

Arsenal reportedly believe they have sufficient funds to pursue a deal for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko in January.

Mikel Arteta said Friday he is consulting his Arsenal players over new signings as the club scramble to bring in a striker before the January transfer window closes. The Spaniard said he consults his players on potential signings as they are often able to give him valuable information that builds on computer data.
