Arsenal and Manchester United might have been trading names of transfer targets this summer with Erik ten Hag's side now looking for their own midfield reinforcements, just as Mikel Arteta scours the market as well.
Although Fabio Viera has been signed to play in the centre of the park, Arteta is keen to add some experience and readymade class to his side in order to keep the positive momentum flowing at the club. With Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko the two standout buys so far, there is still work to be done in strengthening the midfield and attack further this window.
With talks for Youri Tielemans slowing down and the vague possibility that any deal for him is hijacked this summer, before his contract expires in 2023, there is still plenty to be on alert about at the Emirates.
