Arsenal 'ready' but signings not imminent

The talk around Arsenal coming into this transfer window was whether they would sign a striker.

Mikel Arteta has been clear throughout January that if they saw a deal that would improve the squad and help the team long term then the club would do it.

The injury to Gabriel Jesus lessened the options - but they are still finding the back of the net.

Arsenal are the second-highest scorers in the Premier League after Sunday's 5-1 win over Manchester City and top scorer Kai Havertz was one of those to find the net.

While the forward has been criticised this season, he now has 15 goals.

Sources with knowledge of the situation have said Arsenal are ready to make signings, but new players are not imminent.

Mathys Tel has been linked but a move for him from Bayern Munich does not look likely.
