Arsenal are primed for a supremely busy August, with the summer transfer window coming to a close as the new Premier League season kicks off.
The Gunners have already signed Tommy Setford, David Raya and Riccardo Calafiori on permanent deals, with internal hope that Mikel Merino will join that trio over the next few days. Talks with Real Sociedad are ongoing; however, an excellent market opportunity has seemingly emerged for Mikel Arteta and Edu.
Barcelona are now open to selling Frenkie de Jong to the Gunners in need of a midfielder that possesses his qualities. Elsewhere, Viktor Gyokeres continued to be linked with an Arsenal transfer, and he sent a clear message in Sporting CP’s Liga Portugal opener on Friday night.
As for outgoings, a major transfer agreement elsewhere could see Reiss Nelson join Emile Smith Rowe as a Hale End academy graduate to depart Emirates Stadium this summer.
