Salah says ‘no progress’ on Liverpool future, Fofana may miss season: football news – as it happened

The latest from the January transfer window and buildup to the weekend’s fixtures

Mikel Arteta has said that signing a new striker in January is no guarantee that they will win the Premier League but still left the door open for reinforcements this month.

Arsenal face Brighton on Saturday evening and will welcome back Kai Havertz after the Germany forward missed the win over Brentford due to illness. But with Gabriel Jesus having scored six goals in his last four games in a timely return to form, Arteta rejected suggestions that he needs to bolster his forward line.
