Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he has no plans to replace Emmanuel Adebayor after agreeing to sell the Gunners striker to Manchester City.
Adebayor has spent the day at Eastlands discussing personal terms and the transfer, reported to be worth £25million, is in on the brink of completion.
Wenger claims the money raised by Adebayor's sale is his to invest but while he is keeping an eye on Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh, he is no hurry to spend.
Instead, he will rely on his current attacking options which have been boosted but the return of Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo from injury.
"We're not on the verge of signing anybody but I'm able to spend the money if we find the right players," he said,
"We're not in a hurry because we have a big squad. We'll see in pre-season if we need to make any additions.
"If we need to add something we will. Chamakh is one of the players we've followed and if we need to go for a striker he's a possibility. We're keeping an eye on him.
"We have Rosicky and Eduardo back so we've lost a big striker but have gained two offensive players who were absent last season.
"We also have Nicklas Bendtner, Andrey Arshavin, Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott who can play striker. We have top players we can use as strikers."
Adebayor's departure will not be mourned by Arsenal fans who tired of his attempt to engineer a move abroad last summer before signing a new contract.
Supporters questioned his commitment throughout last season and his sale represents good business with Arsenal set to make an £18million profit on a player they signed from Monaco for £7million in 2006.
Wenger understands Adebayor's desire to leave the Emirates and admitted he was joining a growing force in the Barclays Premier League.
"We'll miss him - he's a great player. I'm sure he'll give something special to Man City," he said.
"I don't believe that last season he got enough support and I think that played a part in his mind.
"There was a bit of resentment you could feel through last summer. I believe he wanted to do well but didn't have the confidence of the year before.
"If you consider the money we paid for him it was good business, but that was not our main target.
"It's a good opportunity for him because City could be a big force in the coming years.
"Carlos Tevez, Robinho and Gareth Barry have done it. Man City will be a threat to the top teams."
Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Barnet in Saturday's traditional pre-season curtain-raiser with Rosicky making his first appearance since January 2008.
