Mikel Arteta has confirmed Arsenal want to "be on the market for opportunities" in the fast-approaching January transfer window.
The Spaniard is under pressure to bolster his ranks after a 3-1 defeat to Brighton at the Emirates. The Gunners took the lead through Eddie Nketiah - but goals from Danny Welbeck, Kaoru Mitoma and Tariq Lamptey dumped them out of the EFL Cup.
Wednesday night's result has left Arsenal fans wondering if their squad has enough depth to mount a Premier League title charge. Arteta's side are currently two points clear of Manchester City in second but may struggle to maintain their lead after the World Cup.
