Mikel Arteta has integrated various signing sessions in his Arsenal team, but time is over for sports director Andrea Berta to give him a new player
Arsenal made a winning start to the Premier League season, but their summer wheel and acting may not be over yet. The first half of Riccardo Calafiori was enough to beat Manchester United, but signing Viktor Gyokeres of big money found it difficult for his competitive arch for the club.
There has been a chat about adding creativity in midfield, strongly connected to Ebereechi. The International of England now seems to become a member of Spurs, with the Gunners who withdraw from discussions, but more expenditure is not excluded.
We may also see a little more selling. The will of Fabio Vieira and Oleksandr Zinchenko remain in demand and can help movements for the couple to free up some money before Deadline Day. Whether those funds are immediately issued or not, is of course another question.
“Of course we have to improve many things and that will happen very quickly,” said Mikel Arteta manager after Sunday's victory. “But when it comes to managing that in a very positive result, that is a great way to do it.”
So, what may be in the store for Arteta and his team? Mirror Football has the latest rules for you from the Emirates Stadium.
Saliba bid is back
Arsenal has rejected a SWAP deal that, according to reports in Spain, would have seen William Saliba and Rodrygo exchange. Although it has not been revealed whether the approach was for a straight swap or a player-plus-cash deal, Arsenal is not going to renounce the middle behind.
Real Madrid had long been admirers of Saliba and added two other Premier League defenders to their ranks in the summer. Dean Huijsen arrived in a large-money deal from Bournemouth, while Los Blancos also attracted Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool.
Both Huijsen and Alexander-Arnold played for Madrid in the club World Cup, although Tey missed the semi-final defeat against Paris Saint-Germain. The Spanish side starts their new competition season on Tuesday and will compete against Osasuna.
Rodrygo advice from Richards
Pundit and former Premier League defender Micah Richards would like to see Rodrygo in the Premier League, regardless of Arsenal's plans. The Brazilian dropped the pecking order in Madrid, with questions about how he fits into the Xabi Alonso system in the long term.
“I just look at that position on the left and think that if they could sort that …” Richards said the rest is football. “When they were linked to Rodrygo, that could solve many problems for them.”
Real Madrid is supposed to want to want the Brazilian to the north of £ 75 million, even though he drops the pecking order. Arsenal has already made a cheaper signature in the form of Noni Madueke, and it was always unlikely that they would sign both men in the same window.
Gunners follow the Lee situation
Arsenal keeps an eye on the situation of Lee Kang-in in Paris Saint-Germain, according to prison offside. The South Korea star would seriously consider leaving the French club, despite winning the Champions League last season.
Lee, 24, scored seven goals in all competitions in the previous term. He is also outside the goal for the new season after he had put Tottenham in the Super Cup.
He was not familiar in large competitions last season, but remained in the couch for the quarters, Semis and final of the Champions League. Napoli and Manchester United is also said to keep an eye on the former Mallorca star in case he is looking for a movement before the window closes.
