New Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is seeking left-sided attacking players next month.

Sky Sports says Arsenal are looking to specifically sign left-footed players in January.

Arteta is keen to get players in who can support his forward line and that he wants a left-footer to help Pierre_Emerick Aubameyang and co.

Bayer Leverkusen ace Kevin Volland is on the shortlist while the Daily Express says Arsenal have made an approach for Dries Mertens, of Napoli.

However Arteta will have a limited budget in January due to the big spending in the summer.
