Speculation surrounding Arsenal's pursuit of new midfielders continues to drag on this summer as uncertainty over the club's plan increases.
Central midfield was said to be an area of interest to Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, but a lack of progress has led to doubts about someone coming in at all. However, it could also be down to a number of things, including the inability to offload.
Arsenal have already signed four players this summer, with a fifth on the way in Oleksandr Zinchenko, but the first senior departure is yet to take place, meaning there could be a reluctance to do further business due to the current size of the squad.
