Mikel Arteta confirms Arsenal "are active" in the transfer market amid rumours of £40m swoop

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted the Gunners "are active" in the transfer market as they look to bolster their options during the upcoming January window.

The Spaniard also kept his cards close to his chest over whether there were any new targets that have emerged as a direct result of their performances at the World Cup. Arteta has just reunited with most of his players as Arsenal secured the Dubai Super Cup with an impressive 2-1 win over AC Milan in a mid-season friendly that featured a stunning Martin Odegaard free-kick.

Arsenal were without talismanic forward Gabriel Jesus, who is set to spend around three months on the sidelines while he recovers from knee surgery. In turn, speculation is rife that Arteta will try to land the signature of a new forward as his replacement.
