Read our privacy policy Arsenal will have key attacker Kai Havertz available for their Premier League match at Brighton and Hove Albion, manager Mikel Arteta said on Friday. Havertz, who scored the winner for Arsenal against Ipswich Town last week, missed their 3-1 away win over Brentford due to an illness which affected several players in Arteta’s squad. Asked if Arsenal were planning on bolstering their squad with any signings in the January transfer window, Arteta said: “I don’t know. “All the players that are here, they want to focus on performing and impacting the team and if something happens there then we will assess it.” Pressed on whether signing a striker would lead to the Gunners mounting a more sustained title challenge, Arteta responded: “I don’t know, it can be a perception, it can be a reality.
