Arteta responds to whether Arsenal plans to sign a forward in January

In the marquee clash of the FA Cup third round, Arsenal faced Manchester United and suffered a defeat.

Alongside their elimination from the tournament, Arsenal faced another significant setback. During the first half, Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus left the stadium on a stretcher.

After the match, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta addressed questions about whether the club plans to enter the transfer market in search of a striker.

Quote. "A new striker? We've lost our rhythm in different ways and with different players. I understand the boys. I couldn't love my players more. I'm very focused on the footballers I have.

Jesus? I'm very concerned — that's how I feel. He had to be stretchered off, touching his knee... so, unfortunately, it doesn't look good," Arteta said.

Reminder. In regular time, Arsenal and Manchester United couldn't determine a winner—the Red Devils secured their place in the next round after a penalty shootout.

By the way, the draw for the FA Cup fourth round has already taken place.
