Arsenal legend Ian Wright has warned against panic buying in the coming days.
Wright wrote in The Sun: "I know some people are tearing their hair out after Wenger hinted he is unlikely to spend in the transfer window. But even though the team needs strengthening - that's clear for anyone to see - rushing out next week and making some rash signing would not be the answer.
"Mikel Arteta has done OK - while the jury is out on Per Mertesacker and Yossi Benayoun has not really been given a chance.
"So I wouldn't say they have all been amazing successes. Arsenal have been hit badly by injuries and having four full-backs crocked is crazy.
"But Jack Wilshere is coming back, among others, while I like the central defensive partnership of Thomas Vermaelen and Laurent Koscielny, who is turning into a Nemanja Vidic-type player at the back.""This happened on August 31 last year and I'm not sure whether Arsenal really benefited.
