Arsenal not planning a transfer for a new striker

23 November 2013 - 07:16

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is confident that the Gunners can still win the Premier League even without signing a new striker. Many have tipped Arsenal to add a striker to their squad in January.

  • Arsenal to swap Gabriel Jesus for Inter Milan star?
  • Arsenal leading race to sign Belgian midfielder

  • The Gunners' top priority last summer was to sign a striker and failed in their efforts to sign both Luis Suarez and Gonzalo Higuain.



    "I think we can win the title without signing a striker," Wenger said.



    "[Lukas] Podolski is not back but he shouldn’t be too far now. They make it less critical to sign a striker. Also, Theo [Walcott] gives us qualities that other players haven’t got. It’s a different option. Theo also gives us an opportunity to be a mobile striker. If we lose Giroud today we have nobody with body weight up front.



    "Look, I am not against it [a January signing]. I don’t say I never make a mistake. I certainly made some. Sometimes it is because we didn’t sign the right player."
