Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he is happy with his options in attack and won't sign a striker this month.
Furthermore, the Gunners boss has claimed he is not yet even thinking about summer transfers after being linked with some high-profile forwards in the off-season.
Wenger was speaking at London Colney ahead of Tuesday night's game with Watford, and when asked about reported interest in Karim Benzema, Wenger gave it short shrift:
"Why? Because he is French?" Wenger asked.
"Maybe there are some noises he will leave Madrid.
"But for us in this moment there is no need to buy a striker.
"The summer window is not my worry at the moment."
