Arsenal's transfer business has been swift this summer as they look to strengthen and solidify their ranks for the season ahead and beyond. Kai Havertz was confirmed as the first signing of the window, joining on a deal worth up to £65million from London rivals Chelsea, with Mikel Arteta hinting at his ambition to play him in midfield.
There are still some other deals lined up, with a switch for Declan Rice from West Ham seemingly the next transfer lined up for the north London outfit. football.london understands that the Gunners made a club-record offer for the England international on Tuesday, with reports claiming of an agreement in principal for £105million.
Negotiations also continue for Ajax defender Jurrien Timber as a first bid for the 22-year-old was rejected, but a second offer worth roughly £40million still being considered. Those three deals could total a huge £200million spend in the market, but it shows a clear sign of intent from Arsenal.
