There may be three weeks left to go, but Arsenal have already been very active this transfer window. The arrivals of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Matt Turner, Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira have strengthened Mikel Arteta's squad considerably as they seek to finish inside the top four.
Edu's work will not stop there though. The Gunners current primary focus is on outgoings, with Pablo Mari and Runar Alex Runarsson nearing the exit door, but there is still hope that they can bring in more players before September 1. "We are really active as you can see with ins and outs," Arteta told reporters ahead of last week's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. "Everything is still open, it’s a long window. A lot has happened. It’s incredible how much business the club has already done across the Premier League and it shows how competitive this is. It’s not gonna stop that."
One of the players being targeted is Youri Tielemans who football.london understands Arsenal have a long-term interest in. The Belgian has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium all summer, but now it appears as though a transfer is far from certain.
