With just four hours remaining of the transfer window it's shaping up to be a busy end for Arsenal.
The Gunners have already been active this summer, bringing in Matt Turner, Marquinhos, Fabio Vieira, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to reach a spending total of well over £100million for the second summer in a row. They could though still bring in more.
Injuries to Thomas Partey, Mohamed Elneny and Oleksandr Zinchenko have left Mikel Arteta's side low in numbers in midfield and they have decided to act. football.london understands that they have focused in on Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz as their main target for this position, but with time running out, a deal has yet to be agreed.
