Arsenal confirmed their Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino will miss a spell after breaking his foot.
The Daily Mail notes Merino's injury could push boss Arteta to explore the winter market.
Arsenal are actively weighing options to cover the versatile midfielder's absence.
In midfield, the Gunners have names such as Declan Rice, Kristian Nørgaard, Martin Ødegaard, Eberechi Eze, Miles-Skeli, and Kai Havertz on their radar.
Arsenal sit atop the Premier League table with 53 points, six clear of Manchester City after 24 matches.
