Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal do need to sign a goalscorer, after injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus

Transcript

00:00Obviously there's so much noise outside that Arsenal need to sign a forward. I know it's

00:07not like broken records when we ask you about that, but you clearly don't share that same

00:11sentiment. Do you think it is essential that you sign a forward or would you be very happy

00:16with...

00:17Sorry? I don't share what?

00:18The same sentiment that you have to sign a forward this month? Or do you?

00:23Have I ever said no to Astralia?

00:26My opinion is clear. We lost two very, very important players, Bukayo Saka and Gabe Jesus.

00:31So we lack goals, we lack people, we lack options in the front line. It's clear.

00:35So do you think it's essential that you have to be a forward then?

00:39If we can get the right player, that's what we are actively looking at. Any player, no.

00:44Someone that makes us better and has an impact on the team. It's clear that for the period

00:49that we lost them, ideally we need some help because we were very short already and we

00:54were even shorter. But the team still copes with that. But we have to do what is right

00:59for the club.
