Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn has emplored Mikel Arteta to sign a new striker before the January transfer window closes. Injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka have further reduced the Gunners’ attacking options and a lack of firepower is undermining the north London club’s title aspirations.

Dan: Forget Bukayo Saka's and Gabriel Jesus' injuries. I think White's injury has caused us more problems. Since he got injured, our defensive record has been quite poor compared to this time last season. Not only that, but he added so much more to our attack that I haven't seen from Jurrien Timber.

Mikel Arteta's defensive woes are set to deepen with the anticipated absence of star defender William Saliba for the next fortnight, forcing a reshuffle in his backline. This comes at a crucial juncture for the Gunners as they strive to keep pace with Premier League leaders Liverpool and secure a direct entry into the Champions League group stage.

Arteta’s first-choice deputy for Saka on the right was Gabriel Martinelli, with Leandro Trossard on the left. That wing pairing returned against Aston Villa on Saturday. Despite the game ending in a 2-2 draw, they brought more threat to Arsenal’s attack than there had been in previous weeks.

Saliba will not be available for Arsenal’s penultimate Champions League group match against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.
