Arsenal 'not planning January additions'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly reluctant to spend in January despite his side being on course for a genuine title challenge.

Arsenal are reportedly not planning to make any signings during the January transfer window.

The Gunners were criticised for their lack of transfer activity during the summer, with Granit Xhaka the only major arrival before the late additions of Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez.

Despite that, Arsenal currently sit second in the Premier League table courtesy of their 5-1 victory over West Ham United on Saturday, trailing leaders Chelsea by just three points.

The likes of Danny Welbeck, Hector Bellerin and Per Mertesacker are expected to return towards the end of December and in January, while Santi Cazorla is also currently unavailable.

Arsenal had been linked with the likes of Carlos Bacca, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, but The Telegraph reports that Arsene Wenger feels as though he has enough depth in his squad already to launch a serious title bid this season.

The Frenchman is understood to have money to spend if he wants, but is unlikely to loosen the purse strings unless his side suffer an injury crisis.

Arsenal are now unbeaten in 13 Premier League games since the opening day of the season.
