Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta urged to complete two transfers by Gunners hero Paul Merson

“Nathan Ake could go in there, he’s a really good player.”

Despite Arsenal’s struggles this season, Arteta insists the Gunners can qualify for the Champions League.

“At the moment we are far from it but there are a lot of games to play,” he said.

“It is very tight. Everybody is giving points away. It will depend on us.

“If we are able to put three or four wins in a row, we will be much closer.”

The Gunners have spent the last four days of their winter break in Dubai.
