Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal need another midfielder this month after Mohamed Elneny suffered a knee injury that could end his season… with Everton's Amadou Onana or Brighton's Moises Caicedo possible options with Declan Rice their No 1 summer target

Mikel Arteta has conceded Arsenal need another midfielder – and could be forced into the January transfer market – following a serious injury to Mohamed Elneny.

The manager said there are fears the knee problem, suffered in training before this month's north London derby, could keep him out for the rest of the season.

Declan Rice has already emerged as Arsenal's top target this summer, with Arteta prepared to break the club's transfer record to sign the England international.
