Arsenal have made a quick start to their summer proceedings. While pre-season ramps up, four new faces have joined the club in the opening four weeks of the transfer window.
Mikel Arteta has looked to solve several issues within his squad as he looks to improve both depth and quality of options available next season. The spending could soon move over the £100million mark, with plenty more signings tipped with a move to the Emirates.
One of whom is Manchester City defender Oleksandr Zinchenko. Both clubs have agreed a £30million fee for the 25-year-old, with personal terms reached on a four-year deal.

The Ukraine international can play at both left-back and in midfield, giving the Gunners several options when it comes to playing him in the team. With a medical ahead, Zinchenko should become signing No. 5, although Arteta was tight-lipped on the move when asked.
"There is no update with anybody and when there are updates we will let you know," the Spaniard said. "We’re looking at different options in different positions and we’ll give you an update when we have it.”
However, the move appears to be edging closer and Fabrizio Romano told Caught Offside that Arsenal will announce the signing of Zinchenko "later this week". The manager is said to have played a large part in sealing the transfer, with more potential transfers on the horizon.
