Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hinted at a busy final few days of the summer market.
Wenger admits he will be seeking three new additions.
"It is important [to strengthen] because we will lose players in January with players going to the African Nations Cup," Wenger told arsenal.com.
"We lose Gervinho and Chamakh together so, first of all, it is important to strengthen up front. It is important that we find one midfielder and one defender as well. So we are still short of three bodies.
"My time has been taken up [by players going out] and it was a very difficult summer on that front because we had to face adversity, negativity, but it had to be done. Overall, we tried to do as well as we could."
