Like the saying goes: 'You wait ages for a bus and then two come along at once'. In Arsenal's case, the 'bus' is a transfer announcement and they are on course to deliver a couple more in the next few days.
The week began with the Gunners confirming Marquinhos as their first signing of the summer transfer window after agreeing to pay Brazilian outfit Sao Paulo a fee believed to be in the region of £3m and the intrigue surrounding this deal is whether the 19-year-old can emulate Gabriel Martinelli by being part of Mikel Arteta's plans earlier than anticipated.
Just as some Arsenal fans may have been getting a little frustrated at the lack of business done by Arteta and technical director Edu, along came news of a second transfer being close to completion and it was one that caught many by surprise with the Fabio Vieira development.
