MIKEL ARTETA insists Arsenal can win the Premier League title this season even if they do not sign a new striker this month.
The Gunners have finished as runners-up behind Manchester City for the last two campaigns.
And Arteta's side have been accused again of lacking the firepower to get them over the line this time around.
Top-scorer Kai Havertz (circled, bottom right) has only netted seven times but Gabriel Jesus' return to form has boosted Arsenal's bid to close the six-point gap on Liverpool.
Jesus' hot streak has also reduced the pressure on the Gunners to bolster in January, despite Arteta being urged to push the boat out to compete with the free-scoring leaders.
