Mikel Arteta already has £45m Bukayo Saka Arsenal back-up plan after pre-season experiment

It's been an exciting transfer window so far for Arsenal. The Gunners started early by bringing in Kai Havertz from Chelsea and have not looked back since.

Deals for Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber are expected to be announced in the coming days after both completed their medicals on Friday. This will take Arsenal's summer spending to north of £200million already, but Edu has shown no signs that he wants to stop there.

The Gunners continue to be linked with a midfielder amid uncertainty over Thomas Partey's future. The Ghanaian is the subject of interest from Italian clubs, and football.london understands that Arsenal would be willing to let him leave at the right price. He would require replacing though, with Romeo Lavia among the names to have been linked.
