Arsenal manager Arsene
Wenger has insisted there
was no point in trying to
strengthen his squad in
January given the club’s own
Cote d'Ivoire international
Gervinho has been the best
player at the Africa Cup of
Nations.
The Gunners, who currently
sit sixth in the Premier
League and four points short
of fourth, added only left-
back Nacho Monreal to their
squad during the winter transfer window.
But, despite running the risk of missing out on Champions
League qualification, the Frenchman claimed that securing top
talent in the middle of the season is too difficult - even with the
opportunity to scout at the Africa Cup of Nations available to him

Dream on Arsene.
