The pressure is bubbling away in this early stage of the transfer window and Arsenal are leading the charge with some major moves in the market for key targets. Although Liverpool are the side to pull off the first major signing of the summer for Premier League clubs, the Gunners appear the most active.
After just two days of the window being officially open, the club have had their first bid rejected for Declan Rice, an offer has been made to Ilkay Gundogan to sign him on a free contract, Chelsea have turned down the first approach for Kai Havertz but negotiations continue. Interest exists for further targets Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Ivan Fresneda.
Yet, despite the eager start, sporting director Edu Gaspar remains under scrutiny from the Arsenal fan base. After serious spending since Mikel Arteta’s appointment in December 2019, the club has one major trophy to show for it.
