Arsenal are set to back manager Mikel Arteta in the transfer window this January with further reinforcements to his squad, according to recent reports. It comes as questions arise over whether the Spaniard has a deep enough selection of players at his disposal to be able to challenge for the title.
As things currently stand, the Gunners are top of the Premier League with 10 wins from 12 games played so far, looking to remain there heading into the mid-season break for the World Cup. However, the congested fixture schedule could make for a tough campaign if the side wish to fight on all fronts.
"Every day I feel responsibility to protect them, to guide and get the best out of them," Arteta said when asked whether he feels a responsibility to rotate players. "We are playing for Arsenal at the moment and that is what they have to focus on. When they play for England or their national team they have to focus on the national team."
