Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side may have the small matter of a North London derby to look forward to, but that doesn't mean there isn't also transfer business to sort.
It looks almost certain that the Gunners have missed out on one of their priority targets in Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix. The 23-year-old was the subject of interest from a number of sides, but Arsenal's London rivals Chelsea were seemingly the only side willing to pay the hefty loan fee of €11million (£9.68m).
In turn, Arteta will have to continue to prowl the market to find an alternative. The Arsenal fanbase are in agreement that if the Gunners are to end their 19-year wait for a Premier Leauge title, further additions are essential before the end of the month.
