Arsenal are moving on multiple targets early in the transfer window and with less than two weeks of it being open, the club has already made some major inroads into negotiations for players. One has been agreed with two more moving positively.
The club want to ensure the majority of their business is done before preseason kicks off, football.london understands. Mikel Arteta is hoping that if not by the trip to Germany to face Nurnberg that the US tour taking place in mid-July will see his new recruits begin their integration into the side.
There's more than just new signings to consider, however, and as players return from their holidays, news of new contracts being announced will be high on the agenda. A number of young stars have already agreed to new extensions but we await official news from the club.
