Arsenal star Jorginho was questioned by a fan over when transfers for Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber will be confirmed in the summer transfer window.
It comes as the Gunners edge towards announcing their second and third deals of the market, having already added Kai Havertz in a £65million deal from rivals Chelsea. That summer spend could be take a toll considerably in the next week or so with the deals already lined up.
Rice looks set to make the move from West Ham in a club-record deal worth a huge £105million, with an agreement struck between the two London clubs. The only factor standing in the way at this time appears to be paperwork setup by lawyers to ensure the deal passes through properly.
While that move is reaching its final stages, so too is a transfer for Ajax star Jurrien Timber, who is edging closer to a £40million switch. The Netherlands international is believed to have already completed a medical with the Gunners, with an announcement waiting to confirm the move.
With no serious movement on both transfers in the past few days, some supporters have started to get restless and even concerned over whether they are completed. With the squad currently in Germany, readying for a pre-season friendly in Nurnberg on Thursday, some would have hoped to see their new stars in action.

It has even got to the point where Arsenal stars themselves are being asked when a deal is going to be completed for both Rice and Timber. On the app Residency, there was a question and answer section held with Jorginho, who has quizzed on when announcements would be coming.
User Bobby asked: "Jorginhooo when are Rice and Timber joining?" to which the Arsenal midfielder replied: "Good question [laughing emojis]. No idea." It remains to be seen whether that is a real answer or if the Italian international is merely playing coy as a move closes in.
For the mean time though, many will have to play the waiting game, with Rice currently spotted training in Portugal with a host of other stars.
