Mikel Arteta reacts to reports linking Arsenal to Benzema, other strikers

Mikel Arteta appears to have ruled out the possibility of signing Karim Benzema or any other striker this month.

Speaking on reports linking Arsenal with an attacker in this window, he said: "No, because I love the players that we have."

Benzema emerged as a surprise target for the Gunners who have only scored thrice in their last six matches. 

The Frenchman still has two years left on his contract but is not happy with how his time in the Saudi Pro League is going.

Al-Ittihad won the title last season, but have struggled this campaign and are seventh in the table, 25 points behind leaders Al-Hilal.

Gabriel Jesus is expected to return against Crystal Palace on Saturday. The Brazilian has just three Premier League goals this season.
