Unai Emery admits Arsenal can only afford to bring in loan players in the January transfer window.
The Gunners are keen to add a defender and a winger to their ranks but head coach Emery has confirmed there is no money available to land permanent signings.[phone]

“We cannot sign permanently. We can only loan players. Only loan players,” the Spaniard said.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday afternoon, Emery also praised the attitude of Aaron Ramsey as the Wales international continues to be linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium.
Juventus are reportedly close to agreeing a deal with Ramsey, who can leave for free in the summer when his contract expires or in January if a fee can be agreed, but Emery is pleased with the continued application of the 28-year-old.
“My idea and focus, I say to him every day, is that we need his performance for us,” he said.
“In the last match I was very happy with him. I asked in the last match at Blackpool if he is OK to help us play and he said, ‘Yeah, coach, I want to play’ and he played with a very big behaviour and commitment to us.
“After, his future belongs to him, his family and agent. Every day he’s here with us, he’s working very well. I want his behaviour and his focus to be on West Ham on Saturday.”
