Arsene Wenger has insisted there is 'no need' for Arsenal to buy more strikers this summer.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Danny Welbeck both struck as the Gunners beat Southampton 3-2 on a dramatic afternoon at the Emirates on Sunday.
Shane Long opened the scoring for Saints before strikes from Aubameyang and Welbeck sent Arsenal in with a one-goal lead at the break.
Charlie Austin levelled for Mark Hughes' side after the break but Welbeck's second secured the points for the hosts and plunged Southampton further into the relegation mire.
Wenger was quizzed about his attacking options after the game, but says he is happy with the forwards at his disposal.
"We have a good side," Wenger said. "Overall, in some aspects of the game there is no need to buy more players at that level, because we have young strikers as well, promising strikers.
"But we'll see at the end of the season."
Arsenal now turn their attention to the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final against CSKA Moscow, having taken a 4-1 lead in the first leg in north London last week.
They will again be without Aubameyang who is ineligible due to featuring for Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League earlier this season and the Bundesliga side's subsequent demotion to Europe's second-tier competition.
