Wenger: 'No more January departures'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he does not plan to let any more of his players leave in January.

Defender Johan Djourou and striker Marouane Chamakh were sent out on loan to Hannover and West Ham United respectively last week.

"At the moment no, [no-one is leaving]," Wenger told Arsenal's official website. "We have a good squad, a balanced one.

"At the moment nobody can go out, unless we buy somebody. At the moment our focus is to keep everybody.

"In every position we have two players. Three is too many and one is not enough."

Defender Sebastien Squillaci and midfielder Andrey Arshavin have been linked with loan departures from Arsenal this month.
