Arsenal's transfer strategy this summer has been good. Big deals done early and a positive start the to the season after beating Crystal Palace reflected the work completed before pre-season.
With deals to bring in Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko over the line in time to acclimatise the duo to Mikel Arteta's style, the Gunners have come into the new season in a stable position, but with hopes of still signing an extra attacker and midfielder, the progress has slowed down massively.
With no deal in place for first choice target Youri Tielemans, and the 'mystery winger' still without a realistic identify, there is a sense that Arsenal could be about to let a very good window turn into an okay one, and their so far polished strategy could be externally impacted for the last three and a half weeks.
