Unai Emery says Arsenal 'need and can' make one or two signings in January

Emery is open to doing business in January

Unai Emery has admitted that Arsenal want to make two signings and that they are well capable of pulling it off before the window ends. He said,

"The club is working with different players. Our message is we only want to sign one or two players, who can help us with performance. The club is working.

Emery quoted the absence of Welbeck and Bellerin to long-term injuries as a reason to make new signings.

"I think we need and we can sign some players to help, after our injuries like Rob Holding, like [Danny] Welbeck, like Hector Bellerin.

"But we can play with the players we have now and have the same message to every supporter. If we have the possibility to sign some important player then we can do.

"Also on the wing - right or left - if one player can help us in this position. But only if they are giving us big quality.

"First it is the quality, and this quality can help us with what we need if he can come here."
