Despite the disappointing result, Arsenal still have a two-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City.

Arsenal ready to spend in January

But in a bid to help the side compete with City favourably, Arsenal chiefs are plotting an audacious plan to back Arteta during the January transfer window.

According to The Sun, Arsenal will hand Arteta £50million in the January transfer window in a bid to prevent their title bid from being wrecked by burn-out.

The publication reports that the Gunners' boss wants to add at least two more players to his squad to help them maintain their hot start to the season.

The move comes barely months after the Emirates Stadium-based outfit splashed out £130m to recruit new players in the summer.

Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko are some of the high-profile players who joined the north Londoners.

Jesus sends Arsenal teammates message

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Gabriel Jesus has voiced his frustration after Arsenal were humbled by Southampton on Sunday at St. Mary's.

The Gunners, who have been in hot form, could not see off the Saints in a tough Premier League clash that ended in a 1-1 draw.

Jesus has reminded his teammates of the need to bounce back soon to sustain their EPL title charge.
