Wenger: 50-50 to sign a striker
Manager Arsène Wenger has said that there is 50-50 chance that he might sign a striker during the January transfer window.
The Frenchman had earlier indicated that his team had scored sufficient goals in the league, but admitted that most of these were done with the assistance of the injured Robin van Persie.
Wenger's decision will also be based on the recovery of Nicklas Bendtner, delayed for a few weeks now as he was due to return to action in December.
The Danish international has now played since the end of October, and is struggling to recover from a niggling injury.
He said: "It depends on Bendtner and how bad [his injury] is.
"He is being treated now and will come back on Friday for tests then we will assess the situation.
"The real test will be in the next two weeks, with the projection with Bendtner. If he is out for two months, there is no way - we will need someone absolutely. We cannot have one [striker].
"We are looking anyway and if we find a good bargain then, despite that, we will still do it.
"But there is still a 50-50 chance that we will sign somebody."
