Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal's January transfer plans have NOT changed after Reiss Nelson picked up a hamstring injury against Juventus - as he is unable offer a time frame for the winger's return

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has insisted his January transfer plans are unchanged despite a recent injury to Reiss Nelson.

The 23-year-old went down with a hamstring issue during Arsenal's recent 2-0 win over Juventus in a winter friendly, and was forced off the pitch.

If he does face a period on the sidelines, it will be a blow for the winger as he looks to work his way into the Gunners first team after loan spells at Hoffenheim and Feyenoord.
