Arsene Wenger today claimed Arsenal will look to strengthen his squad in the January transfer market after admitting the club should have been more active in the summer.
The Gunners signed five players including Mathieu Debuchy, Alexis Sanchez and Calum Chambers but Wenger has been criticised for failing to bring in an additional defender or a specialist holding midfielder.
How Arsenal’s summer signings have fared so far
Speaking at the club’s Annual General Meeting today, Wenger defended the club’s transfer policy but admits they will look to bring in another player after suffering badly with injuries in the first two months of the season.
He said: “We worked on different aspects to strengthen our side. We bought five players, two defenders in Debuchy and Chambers because we lost [Thomas] Vermaelen and [Bacary] Sagna.
“Of course, I believe that overall in the end we could buy as well Sanchez and [Danny] Welbeck on the last day of the transfer market. I believe we have done remarkably well on the transfer market. I believe we could have bought one more player. We didn’t find him. We will try in December to rectify that because we are a bit short with the injuries we have. Overall, we will rectify that in the transfer market in January.”
