Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he is determined to be "creative" in the January transfer window to add a number of new players.
The Gunners boss, who went a centre-back down in the summer when he sold Thomas Vermaelen to Barcelona with no replacement, has already promised one addition, likely a defensive player.
Wenger however has constantly bemoaned the difficulties of doing business in January, when many clubs are reluctant to part with their top performers.
For the Frenchman, that means Arsenal will need to be a little creative with who they seek to bring to the Emirates Stadium.
"To buy football players is not to go into a supermarket and just say that I want to buy a right-back or a centre-back. It’s to find the right quality", he told his club's site.

"If you go out tomorrow you will see that everybody looks for the same positions everywhere. It’s not as simple as it looks.
"In January it makes it even more difficult because players are even less available than in June or July", Wenger continued.
"But we will try to be creative and have one or two good ideas."
