Mikel Arteta has admitted he is disappointed at Arsenal's failure to land a striker in the January transfer window as his side continues to chase Liverpool in the Premier League title race.

Mikel Areta says Arsenal had a "clear intention" in the transfer window, but they were still left "disappointed".

In each of the past four Premier League campaigns, Arsenal have recorded more points than the season before: from a nadir of 56 points (eighth) after Arteta took over midway through the 2019-20, to 61 points (eighth), to 69 points (fifth), to 84 points (second) to 89 points (second) last season, just two points behind champions Manchester City.
