The talk around Arsenal this week has again been dominated by the club's search for a striker. After news broke that the Gunners had approached Aston Villa for striker Ollie Watkins, Mikel Arteta was always going to be asked about the striker search in the January transfer window.

Arsenal need to sign a striker before Monday’s transfer deadline, but the club’s search for a new winger can wait until the summer. Ethan Nwaneri made that abundantly clear on Wednesday night, as the 17-year-old continued to show how he is a genuine option on the right flank in Bukayo Saka’s absence.
