Arsenal hit with Tammy Abraham problem as Mikel Arteta continues summer transfer overhaul

Arsenal have been hit with a hurdle in their attempts to sign Roma striker Tammy Abraham this summer as Mikel Arteta looks to overhaul his side ahead of the new campaign.

Both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have left the Emirates in the past six months, leaving the Gunners light on options in the final third. Eddie Nketiah has signed a new contract but Arteta is expected to add at least one more high-profile name to his ranks.

Gabriel Jesus appears to be the closest to sealing a move to the Emirates, with Manchester City willing to let the Brazilian leave before he enters the final year of his contract. The Gunners have had a £30 million bid rejected but they are expected to return with another closer to the £50 million asking price.
