Arsenal's three announcements over the past week are shaping Mikel Arteta's first-team squad ahead of the 2022/23 season.
Last Monday the Gunners confirmed their first signing of the summer transfer window with youngster Marquinhos arriving from Brazilian outfit Sao Paulo in a deal worth £3m. Whether the teenager features in Arteta's plans next season remains to be seen, but football.london understands he has signed a five-year contract.
Hot on the heels of that announcement came the news that Eddie Nketiah has also committed his future to Arsenal until 2027 after putting pen-to-paper on a new contract and also being rewarded with the no.14 shirt - an iconic squad number at the club because of Thierry Henry.
