We want one or two players: Wenger
London: Manager Arsene Wenger has said Arsenal is working hard to bring in “one or two players” before the January transfer window closes.
Club captain Mikel Arteta underwent surgery on his left ankle this week while Mathieu Debuchy had an operation on the shoulder he dislocated during Sunday’s 3-0 win over Stoke City.
Both players are expected to miss three months and Wenger, who was already on the lookout for potential signings, wants to reinforce his squad.
“Yes we are more (in the market now),” he told Arsenal.com.
“We have Chambers and we have Bellerin, who is coming on well, and I want to give them a chance as well, but of course we are in the market like many other clubs.
“We work really hard morning until late night to try to get one or two players in.”
Wenger in a press conference Friday morning said that defender Debuchy is “destroyed” after suffering a shoulder injury that will rule him out of seven games after returning from a similar lay-off.
“He’s destroyed because he just wants to play,” said Wenger.
The Arsenal boss also confirmed that a fee, reported to be around 2.4 million pounds, has been agreed for 17-year-old Legia Warsaw midfielder Krystian Bielik.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
