Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says the club are "open" to adding to the squad before the January transfer deadline, with a new striker still a priority for the team.

The Gunners have jetted out to Girona for their final Champions League game, with the club's progress to the last-16 all but confirmed.

Tierney left his boyhood club for Arsenal for around £25million in 2019 after playing 170 times for the Scottish champions and will now look to resurrect his career back in Glasgow.

He said: "Ideally it would (happen in January) but he’s still at this moment an Arsenal player.
