Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger disclosed that he could be acquiring new talents in January.

In spite of their depth in attack, the Gunners are still struggling due to injuries sustained by key players. Recently, Jack Wilshere was sidelined after damaging a ligament in his ankle, joining Mesut Ozil, Mikel Arteta, and Mathieu Debuchy, while Theo Walcott is still in the process of getting back to his top shape.

"I always have lists that you readjust because you come in on Monday, someone has seen a player and you have to follow up, watch him again, then watch him again and someone else has to watch him," said the French overseer.

"Then when you come to a conclusion I have to watch him [again]. It takes time so that work never stops."

"For example, when we played against Southampton I saw Calum Chambers, saw his qualities, then you check on him again and follow up."

"To buy football players is not to go into a supermarket and just say that I want to buy a right back or a centre back. It's to find the right quality.

"If you go out tomorrow you will see that everybody looks for the same positions everywhere. It's not as simple as it looks.

However, Wenger admits that it will be a tough task to lure players in the upcoming transfer window, as they tend to be more committed to their respective mother clubs.

"In January it makes it even more difficult because players are even less available than in June or July. But we will try to be creative and have one or two good ideas."
