Mikel Arteta has signalled that Arsenal are prepared to strengthen their squad further this transfer window, despite the club already boasting one of the Premier League's most formidable rosters.

The Gunners are in the market for a left-sided attacker after Leandro Trossard's exit from the club, with uncertainty also surrounding Gabriel Martinelli's future at the Emirates.

Among the names linked with Arsenal is Bradley Barcola — a player also coveted by Liverpool — though Arteta declined to confirm or deny any specific interest when pressed on his plans.
