Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has spoken about the profile of player he is seeking this winter.
The Gunners boss has admitted that his side must accomplish a lot in the transfer window if they are to maintain their title challenge.
Per reports in the British and European press, Arsenal have been linked to the likes of Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhailo Mudryk this winter.
Asked if they can do without getting a forward this winter, Arteta replied: “Can we afford not getting the player that we want?
"That is my question. We can afford to get a striker for sure if we want one, I don't know if he plays in League Two, in League Five, in Spain, in Portugal, in Africa. We can get a striker I can guarantee you that. But what we can not afford to do is get a player here that is not for us. This is what we can not afford, that is for sure.
“We don't need a body, we need players that make the team better. I think personalities that have the mentality that we want to win. And we have to focus on that. We have to be very strict with what we have done and the policy we have had to make the team successful."
