Arsenal started their Premier League campaign with victory in Manchester United and has spent more than £ 200 million in the summer, but Mikel Arteta wants more for his title Hoopful
Mikel Arteta still wants to strengthen his left wing options – but has to sell before he can do more transfer matters. Arsenal leaves that to the prospect not to make any more large money movements in this window, unless they start sending players.
The Gunners have already been associated with Real Madrid -Superster Rodrygo, while Arteta is a big fan of Ebereechi Eze of Crystal Palace, but both will not go to the emirates unless there is a large burden -minute service. Tottenham is now in pole position to land Eze with negotiations that are underway, because they want to close a £ 60 million deal – £ 55 million plus £ 5 million in add -ons – but Palace is determined to stay firm and stimulate a good deal.
That is currently out of reach of Arsenal because they have a bloated team with all their new £ 200 million-plus in arrivals, but so far they have difficulty getting players out of the door with the spotlight on sports director Andrea Berta to balance the books. Leandro Trossard is most likely to go at this stage, because Brentford, Aston Villa and various foreign clubs have shown interest in the versatile attacker who is now further in the pecking order. First team Squad -members Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Reiss Nelson didn't even make the bank in Manchester United on Sunday.
Teen Max Dowman, 15, was in the game, but was omitted from the competition day team, while Christian Norgaard had a small knock and Gabriel Jesus recovers from a long -term knee injury.
Fenerbahce has shown an interest in Zinchenko who has only been on his contract for a year, while Porto and Stuttgart are interested in Vieira with the Gunners who would like to do a permanent deal. Lokonga has also attracted interest, while Kiwior is considering his options after falling the pecking order despite an impressive finish of last season.
Arsenal signed Noni Madueke from Chelsea for £ 52 million, but Gabriel Martinelli started the season at Old Trafford and there is a feeling that they would still want to bring extra quality. But the interest in Eze did not progress because that would also block the path for Ethan Nwaneri and Dowman who got the first team opportunities.
They have to load to do more deals in this window, but if another movement has to be done, a left wing player would be the most likely.
