Arsene Wenger reveals that there is money available him to boost his Arsenal squad in January.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he has money to spend during the January transfer window.

The Gunners will have to make do without the services of Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh next month, with the pair due to head off to the African Cup of Nations.

With that in mind, Wenger has hinted that he may be tempted to add a striker to his squad when the window opens.

"We lose players like Chamakh and Gervinho to the Africa Cup of Nations, so hopefully touch wood we do not get any injuries to our strikers," he told the club's official website. "But if an opportunity turns up in that department then we will buy.

"The situation, I must say, is a bit special. Economically the whole environment has changed and people suffer more. The clubs will suffer more financially and it's much more difficult.

"Maybe we will have some opportunities because we are in a good financial situation."

Wenger's side are currently fifth in the Premier League table.
