It was a successful afternoon for Mikel Arteta and his men yesterday afternoon as they stormed to a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Villa Park to exact their revenge on former manager Unai Emery.
Goals from Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey were enough to keep the Gunners’ perfect Premier League season going as they landed their second win but there continues to be a lot of talk of the possible comings and goings at Arsenal as we now enter the final week of the 2024 summer transfer window. It seems that there will be at least one new face before the deadline.
A £34 million move for Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino is moving closer with the final details of his transfer set to be completed. He has been a priority target for Arteta this summer with Arsenal seemingly getting their man.
Arsenal continue to be linked with players, which is likely to be the case right up until Friday’s deadline. Ademola Lookman is one of the latest, with reports in Italy suggesting that the Gunners were ready to offer a swap deal including Jakub Kiwior, it does however look like the former Everton man is heading to Paris Saint Germain.
Eyes will also be on the exit door in the final days. Kiwior is one who could leave before the end of the window, while Eddie Nketiah looks to be closing in on a move to Nottingham Forest.
