Barcelona and Man City transfers provide Arsenal with perfect incentive to complete £175m deal

We are only one week into the summer transfer window and Arsenal have already moved closer to upgrading Mikel Arteta's squad.

A number of players have already confirmed to be leaving the Gunners this window and more will follow suit in the coming weeks. Granit Xhaka is on the verge of becoming a Bayer Leverkusen player, Thomas Partey is wanted by three Saudi Arabian clubs and Folarin Balogun is almost certain to leave on a permanent basis.

The aim of sporting director Edu Gaspar is to ensure Arsenal are in a better position to compete in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League in August than they were when the 2022/23 season ended in May.
