Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has insisted that the Premier League club is not trying to terminate the loan deals for Raheem Sterling and Neto this month.
Arteta is in the market for reinforcements, following injuries to key forwards Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.
The Gunners are limited in their options for another domestic loan, as they already brought in Sterling from Chelsea and Neto from Bournemouth.
When Arteta was asked whether Arsenal could send Neto or Sterling back to free up space for another domestic loan deal, he replied: “We’re not thinking about that.”
On possible deals, he added: “We lost two very important players in Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. We lack goals and options in the front, it’s clear.
“If we can get the right player, that’s what we’re actively looking at.
“Any player? No. Someone that makes us better and has an impact on the team. For the period that we have lost those players, we need some help because we are short.
“The team is still coping with that but we have to do what is right for the club.”
