Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta opened up about the club's January transfer window plans as the club deals with injuries across the defense.

Mikel Arteta has said Arsenal's January transfer plans will not be affected by the absence of a permanent sporting director following Edu Gaspar's sudden departure.

Arsenal bosses were once advised against dismissing Mikel Arteta during a loss to Everton – a move which has arguably paid dividends in the long run. Today (Saturday) sees Arsenal go head-to-head with the Toffees once again in a crucial match as they hope to maintain their pressure on Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.
