Mikel Arteta: Arsenal manager reveals forward January transfer targets have been identified by Premier League club

Mikel Arteta has stressed Arsenal's need for forward additions in the January transfer window and confirmed the Gunners have identified potential targets.

In the wake of Gabriel Jesus' anterior cruciate ligament injury - which could keep the Brazilian out for a year - Arteta wants to bolster his attacking options before the transfer window closes in 10 days.

Jesus' absence leaves Kai Havertz as the club's sole recognised striker, while Bukayo Saka is also expected to be sidelined until at least March with the hamstring tear he sustained at Crystal Palace on December 21.
