Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he needs to buy new midfielders before next week's transfer deadline.
Wenger is currently in Italy for Wednesday's Champions League Play-Off against Udinese but the manager is determined to reinforce his squad when he returns.
"What is at stake at the moment is for us to qualify tomorrow and we can only do it with the players we have at the moment," Wenger told arsenal.com.
"They are good enough to achieve that and therefore after that we will see what we can do. We are working very hard on the transfer market.
"We brought in [Alex Oxlade-] Chamberlain - you will see that he will be a great player. Gervinho will be a great player for this club too but we want ideally more. We are short in midfield at the moment and that is where we want to strengthen."
