Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has once again admitted there is a “possibility” they will not sign anyone during the January transfer window.

The Gunners have been linked with several defenders since the start of the month, including Dayot Upamecano of Red Bull Leipzig, Jerome Boateng of Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain’s Layvin Kurzawa.

Asked specifically about speculation linking Kurzawa with a move to Emirates Stadium, Arteta said: “There is nothing new to say on any individual players. It's a possibility, yes. When we have more info, we'll let you know.”

Asked whether there was a chance no new signings could be made, the Spaniard said: “I would not be unhappy without anyone in because we couldn't, it's because the players have to be players who can really help us and make a difference in the squad, not just [signing] for the sake of bringing in players. Things haven't moved at all since the weekend.”
