Arsenal could take advantage of Real Madrid's plan to sign Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe in the summer transfer window. Los Blancos are looking to sign a replacement for Karim Benzema after the Frenchman left the club to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad last month.
The Gunners have already completed the signing of Kai Havertz - who was linked with a switch to Madrid - from Chelsea in a £65million deal. West Ham captain Declan Rice and Ajax defender Jurrien Timber are both in London and will undergo their medical tests as Arsenal look set to announce both signings by the end of the week.
Rice and Timber will join Havertz at the Emirates Stadium and take the Gunners' summer spend over £200million ahead of their pre-season tour of America. Granit Xhaka has completed a £21.5million transfer to Bayer Leverkusen after seven years at Arsenal - weakening Mikel Arteta's options in midfield.
