Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has ruled out signing anyone in the January transfer window despite several believing that the departure of a few players for the African Nations tournament may mean imminent signings.

The Gunners boss is happy with the strength in depth in his squad and is confident they have got what it takes to see the season out.

"Kolo Toure goes off to the African Nations Cup shortly and we may lose Alex Song for it as well," said the Frenchman. "Even with Johan Djourou returning from Birmingham we would then be left with three specialist centre-backs.

"If I signed another one we'd have too many after the African Nations. Sometimes you just have to suffer during the tournament and let your players play."
