Hubenak led the Aggies down the field on their last drive, but came 24 yards short of leading A&M to an improbable comeback. They had six games with three or more giveaways and coughed the ball up 16 times in the final seven games.

Asked if Arsenal had the potential to go all the way and win their first top-flight title since 2004, Wenger said: “You can not say that we have no chance after 19 games”.

A new report from Metro indicates Arsenal are lining up a bid to steal away up and coming Leicester superstar Riyad Mahrez during the January transfer window. “I have already said we are short”.

The Gunners are expected to plug their threadbare midfield when the January transfer window opens by completing the signing of Basel’s Egyptian worldwide Mohamed Elneny. “We will be busy, yes”.

Wenger is now without midfielders Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere and Francis Coquelin – all of which are unlikely to return for a matter of months.

Out of favour right-back Mathieu Debuchy could leave Arsenal on loan in January with West Brom among the interested clubs.

But the Frenchman remains positive on England star Wilshere and is confident he will be fit for next summer’s European Championships.

“Wilshere could be back by the end of February, maybe even earlier”. Although Wilshere does have the talent to excel, no player can be kept on the books for this long without constantly playing.

“I gave Mesut a one-week holiday during the global break and at the moment he doesn’t practise a lot”, said the Gunners boss.

One player who could be departing Arsenal is France worldwide full-back Mathieu Debuchy, 30, who has fallen below Hector Bellerin in the pecking order having missed a large portion of last season with two serious injuries.
