Two Arsenal transfers – one a signing and the other an exit – are accelerating thanks to title rivals Liverpool and old foes Tottenham, according to reports.
Arsenal’s primary aim this season is to finish one place higher in the Premier League after successive second-placed finishes.
To bridge what is only a very small gap to reigning champions Manchester City, Mikel Arteta and Edu are hard at work in the summer transfer window.
David Raya has already arrived after the Gunners activated the £27m option to buy in the goalkeeper’s loan from Brentford.
Riccardo Calafiori has strengthened what was already the Premier League’s meanest defence following his £42m arrival from Bologna.
A new central midfielder is wanted, while a forward – be it a wide option or striker – is also on the agenda.
Arsenal’s attempts to tick off each of those boxes has now received a timely boost and it’s thanks in large part to Premier League rivals Liverpool and Tottenham.
