Mikel Arteta has hinted that Arsenal could dip into the transfer market in January after admitting the Gunners have a "short squad".
Arsenal were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night following a 3-1 defeat to Brighton at the Emirates Stadium. Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring for the hosts with his 11th goal in 12 Carabao Cup outings, but Danny Welbeck levelled from the penalty spot after being brought down in the box by debutant Karl Hein.
Goals from Kaoru Mitoma and Tariq Lamptey secured a win for the away side in what was a poor performance by the Premier League leaders. After the match, Arteta was asked if his side need to strengthen in January.
