Arsene Wenger: 'No need to buy new forward in summer window'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger suggests that he has no intention of bolstering his attacking ranks ahead of next season.

Arsene Wenger has declared himself happy with Arsenal's forward options and says that "there is no need" to bring in any more during the summer window.

The Gunners have twice broken their transfer record to bring in Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon and then Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund over the past eight months.

Lacazette has had a mixed campaign to date by scoring 12 goals in 31 appearances, while Aubameyang has hit the ground running with six in eight.

There was also a confidence-boosting double for Danny Welbeck in the 3-2 win over Southampton on Sunday afternoon, and Wenger does not see the need to bolster his attacking ranks ahead of next season.

"We have a good side," he told reporters. "Overall, in some aspects of the game there is no need to buy more players at that level, because we have young strikers as well, promising strikers. But we'll see at the end of the season."

Arsenal return to action on Thursday night, looking to protect a 4-1 first-leg lead against CSKA Moscow in the Russian capital.
