The Gunners announced their second summer signing yesterday as Fabio Vieira sealed a £34million move from FC Porto. The Portugal Under-21 international follows Marquinhos through the door and is expected to be one of several new additions.
Mikel Arteta wants to bolster his squad even further and is reportedly eyeing Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez and Leeds United's Raphinha. Links to the latter have heated up significantly this week, with The Athletic claiming that Arsenal had a formal offer for the winger rejected in recent hours.
Despite the setback, it is added that interest in Raphinha remains strong and the club is 'determined' to secure his services amid interest from Barcelona, Chelsea and Tottenham.
