Arsene Wenger coy on striker pursuit

Arsene Wenger is coy when asked if he will bring another striker to Arsenal before the closing of the transfer window.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was coy on reports that he is ready to buy a striker to replace the injured Olivier Giroud.

The French forward suffered a broken foot in the 2-2 draw against Everton on Saturday and when asked if he will be delving into the market, the Gunners boss said that he was unsure.

He told Sky Sports News: "The news is that he had surgery today, that surgery went well, but he will be out for - maybe to be competitive at the top, top level - end of December, beginning of January.

"Look, I don't know yet. We try to look around but we want quality and we have quality. We have fortunately Theo Walcott coming back soon. I believe Yaya Sanogo will have an impact this season. We have Lukas Podolski, we have Joel Campbell who can play centre-forward.

"To find players who are better than the players we have would be very difficult now."

Arsenal booked their place in the Champions League on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over Besiktas.
