Unai Emery looking for 'one or two' Arsenal signings

Unai Emery says Arsenal "need and can" make January signings, as he revealed they are seeking "one or two" new players during the January transfer window.
Arsenal, who sit three points adrift of the Premier League's top four, have been reportedly linked with a move for Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez in January.
The Spaniard played under Emery at Sevilla and it is understood the Arsenal boss is keen to reunite with the 25-year-old, but remained tight-lipped when quizzed about the midfielder.
"I don't want to speak about individual players, because I know the club is working," Emery said.
"The club is working on the possibility to take some players who can help us during the next four months.
"The club is working with different players. Our message is we only want to sign one or two players, who can help us with performance. The club is working."
The Gunners were this week dealt a blow with the news Hector Bellerin is ruled out for six to nine months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament - an issue which further strengthens Emery's calls for reinforcements.
"I think we need and we can sign some players to help, after our injuries like Rob Holding, like [Danny] Welbeck, like Hector Bellerin," he said.
"But we can play with the players we have now and have the same message to every supporter. If we have the possibility to sign some important player then we can do.
"Also on the wing - right or left - if one player can help us in this position. But only if they are giving us big quality.
"First it is the quality, and this quality can help us with what we need if he can come here."
