Mikel Arteta has said that Arsenal are “actively” looking to identify targets in the January transfer window as he admits the side “ideally need some help”.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said he is "very worried" about the injury sustained by Gabriel Jesus, as reports state the striker suffered an ACL issue.
