Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are doing the 'maximum' to make new signings before the October 5 transfer deadline.
The Gunners claimed a 2-1 win over Sheffield United at the Emirates on Sunday.
And speaking after the game, Arteta remained optimistic about potential new arrivals.
"I don't know," he said, when asked if any new signings will be brought in. "What I can guarantee is that we are doing our maximum. Whether we are going to achieve it or not I don't know.
"I cannot discuss the players that we want, but we recognise certain positions that we believe we are short – first of all numbers and then adding different qualities to complement each other. This is what we are trying to do."
