Aaron Ramsey feels Arsenal are working with a 'quality'
squad, but concedes they may be a little 'short of numbers'.
The in-form midfielder helped the Gunners progress to the
UEFA Champions League group stage on Tuesday, with his brace in a return date
with Fenerbahce at Emirates Stadium seeing Arsene Wenger's side prevail 5-0 on
aggregate.
With a place in Thursday evening's draw safely secured,
Wenger is expected to step up his efforts to bring fresh faces into his ranks.
It could be a busy few days in north London, with the
summer window due to close at 11pm on Monday evening, and Ramsey admits new additions
at Arsenal would be welcome as increased squad depth would make it easier for
them to challenge on multiple fronts.
He said in The Sun: "We have a lot of quality in the
team, even if we are short of numbers.
"Maybe that's what teams like Manchester City and
Man United have done over the last few years as they can rotate. Maybe we are a
bit short on that.
"But we have a lot of quality and hopefully one or
two additions will strengthen us and mean that we are able to rotate."
After an opening day disappointment against Aston Villa
in the Premier League, Arsenal have moved quickly through the gears and Ramsey
feels a return to form as a collective has helped him to raise his standards
individually - with the Welshman back to the levels he was showing before
suffering a badly broken leg in 2010.
He added: "I am enjoying myself out there and
confident at the moment. After the injury I had, it takes a bit of time to get
over it mentally.
"That's behind me now and I think I am showing
people what I can do."
