It wouldn't be a January press conference without a slew of questions on our plans for the transfer window.
Mikel Arteta dealt with them all in good humour on Monday - and you can find out what he said about it below:
on whether any arrivals are close to joining...
Things haven't moved at all since the weekend.
on links with Layvin Kurzawa...
There is nothing new to say on any individual players. When we have more info, we'll let you know.
on whether we could go through January without bringing anyone in...
It's a possibility, yes.
on whether he would be unhappy not to sign anyone...
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.
on the race for the top four...
Everyone is having a lot of problems to put together back-to-back wins, he league has been very competitive this season and that is why the gaps aren't that big. There are still four months to play and a lot of things can happen, a lot of games between the top teams as well so I think that will change.
