""We are actively looking at options and we will continue to do that. When you lose a big player like this with four months to go, and all the competitions to play for, you need to look and we need to do everything we possibly can to see if a player is available, and if not, we keep what we have.""
""You need a player that has the capacity to adapt immediately and impact the team and that is not easy, but if it was easy we wouldn't be here, so we need to find solutions and try. Yes, we have more depth now (than last season) but for seven months we have not because we have had players out. We know the demands and we need players because we play every two to three days.""
Mikel Merino has suffered a broken foot and will miss the rest of the season. Arsenal are actively looking for midfield reinforcements before the transfer deadline and require a player who can adapt immediately and impact the team. The club has faced long-term absences and congested fixtures, playing every two to three days across multiple competitions, increasing the urgency to strengthen the squad. Newcastle's Sandro Tonali has been linked but a move appears unlikely. Arsenal will contest the second leg of their League Cup semi-final against Chelsea on Tuesday.
