Mikel Arteta eyes next Arsenal transfer priority after Edu completes £45m Gabriel Jesus signing

Arsenal continue to impress in the transfer window after completing the signing of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City in a deal worth £45m.

The 25-year-old Brazilian joins fellow summer arrivals Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Marquinhos, with plenty of business yet to do. It's said that manager Mikel Arteta wants to bolster defence, while attack and midfield remain areas of interest. The club's pursuit of Leeds United winger Raphinha has been widely reported, highlighting that further frontline additions are being looked at.

Meanwhile, central midfield presents a slightly different situation with there already being four senior players in that position. However, it's believed that Leicester City's Youri Tielemans is still an option and a potential deal could be revisited later down the line.
