Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says adapting to Bukayo Saka's absence with injury can transform him into a better manager. Saka - who has five goals and 10 assists so far this season - faces "many weeks" on the sidelines after tearing his hamstring in Arsenal's 5-1 win at Crystal Palace last weekend.

Mikel Arteta is not quite sure how his Arsenal team will look without Bukayo Saka in it, but one thing he does know is that they will be “different”. Arsenal are set to be without Saka for “many weeks” after he tore his hamstring during the Gunners’ victory at Crystal Palace last Saturday and it will force Arteta into a major rethink.

Arsenal may enter the January transfer window to sign a new attacker and add more goals to their team. They are currently nine points behind Liverpool in the league table and they are ready to make their move in the winter transfer window to try their best to catch the Premier League leaders in the second half of the season.
