Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted after Saturday's derby success against Tottenham that he will not be adding to his squad in next month's transfer window.
The Gunners' title hopes already appear to be over after a mixed start to the campaign although the 3-0 win against Martin Jol's side lifted Arsenal up to third in the table.
Wenger is happy with his young squad though, saying: "I will tell you that we will not be signing anybody in January.
"We will continue until the end of the season with the current squad. They are young but I feel they will grow into tremendous players."
Of Saturday's win, he added: "I knew this was an important game and, after the criticism we had in the week, it was most important for me the way the players responded.
"They responded very well, showed great team spirit and what helped us was the turning points, which is unusual for us, went our way.
"When I say turning points, I mean Steed Malbranque missed a clear opportunity and then Emmanuel Adebayor went on to score the opening goal and, in games like these, the first goal is so very important."
