Arsenal have got off to a busy start in the summer transfer window.
Mikel Arteta's side have already signed four players in this window, bringing in Brazilian duo Gabriel Jesus and Marquinhos, as well as Portuguese midfielder Fabio Vieira and American goalkeeper Matt Turner. However, the Gunners don't appear to be finished just yet as Arteta looks to finally end the club's six-year UEFA Champions League hiatus.
Now, football.london takes a closer look at three of the biggest transfer rumours involving the north London outfit from over the last 24 hours.

Tielemans update
According to transfer Fabrizio Romano, via Que Golazo Podcast, Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans could be available for just £25million, a price that makes him more of a viable option than Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who has also been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium. Speaking about Arsenal's plans for midfield, Romano said: “I see some of these names mentioned.
"Milinkovic-Savic is always mentioned in the Italian press, but Lazio want €75-80mi (£68.7m) for Milinkovic-Savic, so it is a really complicated one. I am sure that Tielemans is a good opportunity because he is out of contract next summer.
“He is not extending his Leicester contract, so this is why Arsenal are exploring that possibility more than Milinkovic-Savic today.”
Charles de Ketelaere targeted
Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Belgian starlet Charles de Ketelaere this summer. According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, the Gunners are locked in a transfer battle with Serie A champions AC Milan and Ligue 1 side Lyon for de Ketelaere, who netted 18 goals and provided a further ten assists across all competitions last season.
The report goes on to claim that the 18-year-old would cost somewhere in the region of €30million-35million (£26million-30million), a price that is said to put Milan off a potential deal.
Lisandro Martinez preference
Arsenal transfer expert Charles Watts has now reported that Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez is 'very open' to the idea of joining Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Watts said: “I know everyone’s saying, ‘Oh it’s United, United, United’, but from what I understand, Martinez is very open to Arsenal as well.
“He really likes the ideas that he’s been told, you know, if he came in, how he would be used by Mikel Arteta, and he likes Arteta and he’s very keen on that project.”
