We are looking and we are active in the possibilities. It is about trying to get everybody with the same purpose and the same objective. We’ve been lucky because we’ve brought a lot of kids here, but what they have done is not only maintain the standards, but increase them, so I want to say thank you so much to them because they have been key in this camp to have a successful period in training and compete in the competition. The good thing we have is that everyone has been showing that they are desperate to get back, and they want to be ready as quickly as possible and it was great to have those two back today playing some minutes. We have to raise the standards. We have to put them in those scenarios so that we can develop our players.

He disappeared on the pitch yesterday and I think he's a good player, he's doing a good job at Benfica but he's not my first option.

I love watching him smile on the pitch and he has fit perfectly with Arteta and Arsenal. Prior to Jesus' injury, it was understood that a central midfielder and winger would be the priority but that could be forced to change. Upon arriving back in England, the 25-year-old underwent surgery and is due to be sidelined for a number of months. Arsenal have been urged to consider Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha, Newcastle's Allan Saint-Maximin and Chelsea's Christian Pulisic as possible Gabriel Jesus replacements.

As a teenager, he then struggled to break into West Ham’s first team and so joined Swansea in 2002, initially on a loan deal.

Our Norwegian midfielder gives an insight into how things are going for her on and off the pitch.

Us Norwegians celebrate on December 24 but my family’s traditions probably still sound pretty familiar: we always watch Christmas movies on the day, go for a walk together and then in the evening, it’s time for a traditional Norwegian Christmas meal. Seeing my family again for the holidays will be so nice because I spend so much of the year travelling. The 5-1 win against them in the first leg was very good from our side, and although this is a completely different game, we shouldn’t disregard that amazing result. Not every team qualifies for the Champions League so it’s always a special competition to play in. It’s allowed me to mature as a player because I've developed my decision-making so much on the pitch. I play a different role for Arsenal than I do for my Norwegian national side, but I think the style here suits me better, as we try to play through opponents and generally have more possession. In the press, I would just run to the next player and follow the ball. It’s hard for anyone during those periods on the bench but then it's so nice to come out of the other side and play again. My coaches at Norway were very honest with me the whole time: they told me that I was in a good place and that I was at a good club. I just tried to do my best in training and work hard to develop every day. When I play a bit deeper, I focus more on my partnerships with our centre-backs. I’ve had to be flexible with my positioning as well this season, performing a few different roles across the midfield.

Arsenal hope to be active during the January transfer window, according to Mikel Arteta. The Gunners are set to be without Gabriel Jesus for up to three ...

"There are a few [from the World Cup] for sure. A few national teams, what some of the national teams are doing is very interesting, and it shows where the game is and how the game is evolving." "We are looking, and we are very active looking at the possibilities," Arteta told reporters this week.

"Of course," he said when asked if he'd like to stay. It was a tough start to the season for Nelson who missed a couple of months after a thigh injury in August. [Reiss Nelson](https://www.football.london/all-about/reiss-nelson) has told football.london that he would like to stay at Arsenal beyond the end of this season. Some have questioned whether Nelson may be best served moving on from Arsenal at the end of this season. Speaking to football.london in Dubai though, the Hale Ender admitted he would like to stay at Arsenal if possible. "Yeah it’s amazing," he said of his recent increased minutes. "I’m getting minutes here and there which can only build my confidence and I feel like that’s something that I need to excel in the team because we’ve got a great team.

Arsenal are maintaining contact with the entourage of Mykhaylo Mudryk because they "love" the Shakhtar Donetsk winger, Fabrizio Romano has revealed.

Hence, it would give Arteta a dilemma as to how to find the best combination of players. As Romano claims, though, it could be a good problem for him to approach. Arsenal are in contact with people close to the deal and they love the player, but there’s no official bid to Shakhtar yet. Speaking to Caught Offside, Romano explained exactly where Arsenal are at in the process of targeting Mudryk. He has contributed to as many goals as the number of games he has played in all competitions this season.

I have not seen much of Eddie Nketiah but I have seen Arsenal a few times and I think Mikel Arteta is doing a fantastic job. However, their chances have been hampered by the news that Gabriel Jesus will miss a number of months following a knee injury suffered while on international duty with Brazil at the World Cup. He posted a picture to Instagram of himself smiling as he left hospital with the caption: "Hora de ir para casa" (Time to go home). Arsenal face Arteta's former club in what will be a crucial test of their title credentials on February 15, and they will be hoping that Jesus can return before then with City five points behind in the title race at present and appearing to be the strongest challengers. Arsenal have been backed to win the Premier League title despite the injury suffered by Gabriel Jesus, with former England boss Sven Goran-Eriksson saying that the Gunners have what it takes.

According to O Jogo, Arsenal have joined the race to sign Victoria SC midfielder Ibrahima Bamba in January, who could be a great long-term investment.

But the excitement around Bamba is more about how good he could get in the future. The Gunners have been closely watching Bamba for a while, but PSG are also in the race for the Italian’s signature. The midfielder won’t be Arsenal’s top priority in January though, as they desperately need to find a replacement for Jesus, who could be out for up to 12 weeks. Bamba is excellent on the ball, too, with a pass success rate of 85%, so Mikel Arteta could trust him in possession. With this in mind, the Italian could be an excellent backup option for Thomas Partey, who has suffered a couple of injuries already this season. While a new attacker is the priority, signing a new midfielder is not out of the question.
