Emery opens up on Arsenal's transfer plans and provides injury updates: Press Conference

Arsenal lose first match since August as Charlie Austin scored late winner for Southampton 3-2. Following the game, Unai Emery has spoken out to the press. On the result We lost. In the 90 minutes we had different issues. The second half we were better in the game, with the control and also creating more chances than them. With a small action they scored the third goal. They deserved it because they played with big motivation. Our game today was similar to what we played before, but the result was different. On the defence I think they worked well. Good news for Koscielny, good performance in 90 minutes. Xhaka played well, Lichtsteiner played well. We conceded not a lot of chances but their efficiency today was good. We had chances to score more than two goals but didn’t score. The control of the game in 90 minutes was more for us than them. Emery on injuries We are going to wait. Bellerin has a small [calf] injury, I think he will have some weeks off. We will look at how Mustafi and Kolasinac improve. Emery on whether he will make any transfers in January I don’t know now. We don’t have a lot of possibilities in January but maybe we can think of someone to sign to help us, but only if we think the other players can’t help us with their performance.The club will look in January. Emery on whether money is available It’s not easy. I don’t believe a lot in this transfer window because it’s not a big possibility with the players. The club is working. Emery on the top four battle Our demand is very big but the level is very high with other teams. If we don’t win like today, it’s hard to get into the top four because the other teams are winning. The objective is the top four, but we know it’s not easy. We need to be demanding of ourselves. After 22 matches unbeaten we are only fifth.
