Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are two points clear at the top of the Premier League

Arsenal will be "actively looking" at potential signings during the January transfer window, says manager Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners spent about £250m in the summer and brought in eight new players as they looked to increase the quality in their squad to deal with the packed fixture list and compete for trophies in multiple competitions.

Last season Arsenal's campaign was decimated by injuries.

They were without defender Gabriel Magalhaes for the final part of the season and played with midfielder Mikel Merino as a makeshift striker as they finished second in the Premier League for a third successive season and were knocked out in the semi-finals of the Champions League by Paris St-Germain.
