Arsenal must overcome key Pedro Neto obstacle to avoid repeat of January transfer mistake

Following a surprisingly quiet January and the disappointing conclusion of the 2021/22 season, the mood at Arsenal received a much-needed boost this summer thanks to the impressive transfer business conducted by the club.

Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, in particular, have played a key part in helping the Gunners win their opening three games of the new season which has resulted in them sitting top of the Premier League table. However, with only eight days of the window left, gaps in Mikel Arteta's squad remain and so does the possibility of falling short once again if they are not addressed.

The Arsenal boss has confirmed that the door remains open for further incomings but reiterated his aim, which is to only sign top quality players who will improve the team. If they are not available on the market now, the likelihood is that Arteta and technical director Edu will decide to wait until January or even next summer due to the revamped strategy they have recently implemented.
