Wenger: Arsenal "active" in transfer window

Arsene Wenger has insisted that Arsenal remain "active" in the transfer window with just one day left for clubs to complete new signings.

The Gunners had been linked with a move for Loic Remy to provide cover for injured striker Olivier Giroud, but the Frenchman joined Chelsea earlier today.

Following his side's 1-1 draw with Leicester City this afternoon, the manager told BBC Sport: "Our attackers did well [today] but on the other hand they were not fantastic - they didn't score. We are active in the window, we are working hard to find a solution.

"We try very hard. Nobody can ever predict what can happen in the last 24 hours. But if we had to buy a player every time you didn't win a game it would be too easy. In the Premier League it is difficult to win games. That is the way it is."

Arsenal sit seventh in the Premier League table heading into the international break.
