Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal do not need to spend big this summer.

The Spanish midfielder, signed for £10million from Everton at the end of the August transfer window, believes a fully fit squad is more than capable of challenging for honours.

He told talkSPORT: "Obviously if you spend a lot of money to bring in top players you have a better chance because you have a bigger squad and you can change the team around but, for me, a key thing with our squad is the injuries.

"We've been hit with important, long-term injuries the whole season that really, really affect the team. I always said I would like to see this team playing with the same XI for 10-15 games - then we could talk about if we were good enough or not.

"Now we're starting to do it and we are starting to get really good results. So for me the biggest concern is to stop the injuries."
