Manager Mikel Arteta says he is disappointed by Arsenal's failure to make any signings during the winter transfer window, but praised the club's discipline.
Arsenal were expected to bring in an attacker after Gabriel Jesus suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury last month, while Bukayo Saka is yet to return from a hamstring issue.
"We had a clear intention which is always when a window opens to explore the opportunities to improve our squad with players that can make an impact," Arteta said before Arsenal's EFL Cup semi-final second leg against Newcastle on Wednesday.
