Mikel Arteta, the coach of the English Premier League (EPL) club, Arsenal wants to sign new players to beef up his team before the transfer window closes next week.
The coach disclosed this in a chat with football and video games writer Chris Davidson, noting that Arsenal are a bit short in some areas and they may strengthen these.
He said Arsenal need good availability from every member of the team as they do not have the luxury of 23 players which every team should have.
According to him, “We are a little bit short, if we can do something we will do it.
“We need good availability from everybody, we don’t have 23 outfield players and normally you have to be equipped like that.”
Arteta, who spoke via @cdavison_afc, also shared an update on the injury status of Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus who suffered an injury moments before Saturday’s EPL game against Aston Villa.
“Unfortunately he felt something in his groin. We need to assess him, we need an MRI scan to see. We will have the results and see if it is a matter of days or weeks,” he said.
